CULLOWHEE (May 17, 2016)—North Carolina educators have plenty of opportunities throughout the Fall to attend the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT), a recognized national leader in professional development programming for teachers.
For more information on available programs visit our program calendar at http://www.nccat.org/programs/calendar-seminars
Registration for the Fall programs is open now. Applicants are encouraged to register as soon as possible to ensure a spot. Programs are available to North Carolina educators at the Cullowhee and Ocracoke campuses, online and with NCCAT fellows visiting school districts. For more information visit www.nccat.org.
A variety of programs will be offered, including a focus on the topics below:
Digital Learning
Our students live in a digital world, with the ability to contact anyone, anywhere, anytime. How can we catch up with them? We'll introduce you to digital learning and find common ground with your students.
Early Grades Literacy
Participate in sessions packed with hands-on activities that reinforce essential literacy skills of K–5 students. Encourage literacy through science, the arts and social studies.
Beginning Teachers
Strengthen your knowledge base and classroom expertise in your first three years of teaching.
Support and Planning Teams
We offer educators an opportunity to meet at Cullowhee or Ocracoke in a residential setting devoid of distraction to create and advance departmental-, school- or district-wide projects. Teachers, administrators, central office personnel and district coordinators are welcome.
Other offerings will focus on math, science, social studies and more.
NCCAT served more than 100 school districts in the state last year. In our nearly thirty-year history, NCCAT is best known for teachers who learn by doing and work collaboratively to discover education insights—through residential, online and school-based experiences. This knowledge then spreads to classrooms across the state to help children achieve more.
