We had so many special moments during the NCCAT 2022 Prudential NC Beginning Teacher of the Year Week, including this one. 2022 finalists Brooke Bentley of Wilkes County Schools had been to NCCAT even before she was born.
CULLOWHEE – Xavier Adams, an Orange County High School teacher in Orange County Schools, was named the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT) 2022 Prudential NC Beginning Teacher of the Year in a special ceremony at the John W. Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center on the campus of Western Carolina University Thursday, February 17, 2022.
The North Carolina School Public Relations Association (NCSPRA) and all NC Public Relations School professionals do amazing work in North Carolina telling the story of schools and students.
We're excited to be hosting the NCSPRA Leadership Academy in Cullowhee in April. If you are a school public relations professional this will be a valuable time for learning and sharing.
This monthly tech talk will discuss assignments in Canvas. We will show example assignments in Canvas and answer questions about creating assignments for students. Join us for our online session to learn how to design engaging lessons using Canvas.
This monthly tech talk will discuss playlists, an individual rotation model, where students have more control of the pace and path of their learning. Playlists are a sequence of learning activities designed to move students to a specific objective. Join us for our online session to see examples of playlists and learn how to develop one for your classroom instruction.
This monthly tech talk will discuss choice boards, a graphic organizer that allows students to choose how they will learn a concept or demonstrate mastery. Choice boards enable students to make decisions and enjoy greater autonomy when using a choice board. Join us for our online session to see examples of choice boards and learn how to develop one for your classroom instruction.
Exciting to have teachers from across North Carolina with us for Math Badge 1: Math Core Instruction Models in Cullowhee today. Math Badge 2: Strategies for Conceptual Teaching and Building Number Sense will take place tomorrow. NCCAT is holding a four-session series exploring best practices for K-5 math instruction. The instructional components shared in this series lead to strong classroom structures that embrace mathematical thinking and honor students’ instructional needs. Thank you to these teachers for being with us.
Focus Friday: Using Data and Setting Learning Targets in April with NCCAT!
How do you know students are successfully meeting your desired learning outcomes? This session will focus on the importance of teacher clarity in writing purposeful learning targets. In addition, participants will work with their curricula standards to establish success criteria to help determine if students have achieved content mastery.
North Carolina continues to lead the nation with National Board-certified teachers and the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT) is happy to help teachers achieving this goal that impacts state students with a quality teacher in their classrooms.
