Developing Teacher Knowledge for Professional Renewal: A State Professional Development Perspective
04/1988
Abstract
The purpose of the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching is to recognize and enhance teaching as an art and as a profession, by providing career school teachers with opportunities to study advanced topics in the sciences, arts, and humanities, to engage in informed discourse, and otherwise to pursue scholarly interest. The Center serves teachers from every grade and subject, and from every area of the state through interdisciplinary seminars. The long-range objectives of the Center are to reward excellence in teaching, provide an opportunity for intellectual renewal, and retain outstanding teachers. The program at the Center concentrates on the personal and intellectual renewal of teachers through seminars, support of teacher-initiated research and artistic production, and the development of a statewide colleague network. Descriptions are given of several seminars, illustrating how the Center's objectives of encouraging the intellectual growth of the participants are being met and extended. (JD)
