Wanted: Civics and economics teachers to join professional learning community

LEARN NC is looking for 12 North Carolina high school civics and economics teachers to share ideas in an online professional learning community. You’ll learn teaching tips and materials specific to the civics curriculum, and engage in spirited discussions on your successes, failures, questions and answers with peers across the state.

An experienced instructor coach will provide guidance through the curriculum, as well as tricky areas like classroom management. You’ll also have access to a fully-developed, yearlong online civics & economics course aligned to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. You can use it as your curriculum for the rest of the year, or just to grab a lesson for class tomorrow.

In order for this professional collaboration to be truly successful, participation is a must. Teachers must be willing to log in several times per week, engage in group discussions, and be willing to share strategies with fellow teachers.

If you want to join this exciting community of educators, please contact Nick Yingling at nyingling@learnnc.org.
