North Carolina is dedicated to providing quality education from infancy to university. One aspect that is particularly impressive is the effort to provide professional development for public school teachers through, North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT). One campus is located in the beautiful mountains of Cullowee and the newest campus is located on Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks. The course offerings are free to teachers and offer awesome creative opportunities for teachers to collaborate with colleagues and enhance their teaching skills and curriculum. Kudos to the NC legislature and donors for making this possible.
