Professional Development Opportunities

The Division of Standards, Curriculum, and Instruction presents Greatest Hits! This is an opportunity to catch up on professional development that educators might have missed over the last year.  Direct recording links, materials, and survey links for CEUs are included within!  Please note that the time to complete these varies, as most are self-paced. We plan to leave these open for use through September to allow for enough time to complete them.  Contact Dr. Angie Mullennix at Angie.Mullennix@dpi.nc.gov for questions.   Greatest Hits Professional Development Opportunities

#GoOpenNC Open Educator Resources

GoOpenNC is the North Carolina, K-12, open education resources (OER) initiative. GoOpenNC is also the name of the platform where NC educators can search for, curate, and create openly-licensed, educational resources that are aligned to NC standards.

Connect with educators across North Carolina to share resources, learn how to incorporate OER into teaching and learning, and participate in a community of practice.
