CULLOWHEE (March 10, 2015)—North Carolina educators have opportunities throughout the summer to make sure the learning never stops by attending the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT), a recognized national leader in professional development programming for teachers.
NCCAT understands that every school situation is different.
While many schools find our campus-based trainings to be very effective, we realize that, by providing onsite training at your school or district facility, our School-Based programming will
- Be more convenient
- Have an immediate impact on a larger number of your teachers
NCCAT has faculty members available to assist with planning and facilitation in the center of the state, too.
CULLOWHEE (February 24, 2015)—Educators gathered together at the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching January 26–29 in Cullowhee to learn more about Google Chromebooks—ahead of the rollout of the devices in Davidson County Schools.
Instructors from Martin County and Transylvania County, which have had similar rollouts of the devices, were on hand to share tips and answer questions. Greg Cline, chief technology officer for Davidson County Schools, says the school system has a three-year plan for dispersing the small laptops.
The program "Bring-Your-Own-Technology: Digital Learning" is coming up soon in Cullowhee. Join us March 10-13 to take part in this learning opportunity.
Following a 2014 that saw major initiatives in digital learning the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching Digital Learning is focused on creating more online resources for educators.
The North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching continues to respond to the state initiative of improving digital learning with the appointment of a Senior Digital Learning Specialist.
