The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to help the NC Center for the Advancement of Teaching increase the number of National Board Certified Teachers in North Carolina. Two hundred North Carolina teachers will participate in a week-long seminar focused on National Board preparation and certification. Priority will be given to teachers in the following educational areas: career and technical education, science, mathematics and other high need educational areas; and to teachers who teach in rural tobacco-dependent and economically distressed counties.
