"When [educators] are working together, they can do powerful things to improve their own [experience] and, in turn, improve student learning." - Robert John Meehan
Central to any profession is an effective and impactful professional learning process. It creates avenues for people to learn new skills, invest in their craft, and ensure longevity in their jobs. Over the last ten months, eleven NCAE members have taken on the task of lending their time, effort, and expertise to jump-start the professional learning process for our state. Coming together from all reaches of North Carolina, these educators have offered valuable insight into how to meet our member educators' needs!
Meet these tremendous educators and NCAE members!
