The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to help the NC Center for the Advancement of Teaching expand its National Board support program. Grants funds will be used to provide scholarships for teachers in high-need educational areas to attend a 5-day residential seminar sponsored by the Center. The project goals include increasing the number of National Board Certified Teachers in high-need areas; enhancing teaching skills to boost student learning and workforce preparation; and, increasing the number of Board certified facilitators to assist certification candidates through pilot training programs.
