Never in our nation’s history has ability to produce and comprehend written information been more necessary. Unfortunately, literacy instruction is as difficult as it is essential. The North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching, a national leader in professional development for teachers, has several courses coming up in November and December to help with the topic of literacy instruction.

Teachers will expand their knowledge in order to improve their students’ reading and writing skills in a variety of courses designed to help with literacy instruction.
