From The Asheville Citizen-Times - NCCAT alumnae and Evergreen Community Charter School teacher Karen Lechner tackles John Muir trail to raise funds for her school. Good luck Karen!

From the article ...

Karen Lechner has long dreamed of backpacking the 211-mile John Muir Trail through the high Sierras of California. The Asheville schoolteacher has even gotten her coveted permit for the solo trek starting in June.

But while she's living her dream, she wants to make sure her students fulfill their dreams as well.

For twenty years the NCCAT Holocaust Education Program has worked to promote Holocaust Education in North Carolina public schools as a part of our continuing effort to promote student understanding of the ways in which our individual and collective actions shape the direction of the present and the world of the future. For almost a decade the alumni of our Holocaust Education program have been gathering in the spring to focus on various ways to continue to engage our students to act in ethical ways.

On ‪#‎TeacherTuesday‬ in the NCCAT social media feeds we are once again reminded that weather can't stop teachers from across North Carolina from getting together to share and learn. Here's a link to the Storify from today's ‪#‎ncsnowchat‬ at link below. Thanks to NCCAT alum Lisa Milstead for putting this together. Exciting to see all these educators sharing!

From edutopia ....

Every teacher remembers his or her first "tough kid" experience. Maybe the student ignored your directions or laughed at your attempts to utilize the classroom discipline steps. We all have at least one story to share, and for some teachers, teaching a tough kid is a daily challenge. It seems that no matter what teaching techniques you try to pull out of your educator hat, nothing changes their behavior.
