The North Carolina Teacher Academy Professional Development Standards are aligned with the National Staff Development Council’s Standards for Staff Development and are designed to assist schools in outlining school improvement goals. Results-driven, standards-based, and job-embedded professional development is concentrated in five core areas: process, context, content, differentiation, and professional support.

The North Carolina Teacher Academy offers professional development opportunities to local school systems and/or individual schools. Instructional sessions cover a variety of topics in the areas of curriculum integration, differentiated instruction and learning, instructional technology, literacy, and continuous school improvement. The Teacher Academy can also customize workshops in these areas to meet the needs of a school or school system. All staff development consultants are experienced Teacher Academy trainers, who are assigned based on location, expertise, and availability. Requests for staff development may be made by contacting the North Carolina Teacher Academy by mail or telephone. The price for a staff development activity is determined by the number of trainers (suggested 1/25 participants) for the event, travel expenses and additional fees if indicated in the catalogue description. The charge for a trainer is $500 per day and $350 per half day. All travel reimbursement costs are based on state rates. The Teacher Academy will invoice the school or school system after the workshop has been completed. |
