Updated NCEES Professional Learning Interface!
We’re excited to announce that as of July 7th, NCEES has launched a fully updated and improved Professional Learning interface — built to provide a more intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly experience for all educators.
✅ What’s Staying the Same?
Rest assured, all your existing data and content remain safe and accessible. You’ll still find:
-
All Courses – active, archived, and drafts
-
Roster Data – attendance, registration status, and completions
-
Course Materials – descriptions, uploaded files, and resources
-
Transcripts – CEUs earned and transfer credits applied
🎉 What’s New?
We’ve introduced a fresh design and powerful new tools to support your work:
-
A modern, more intuitive interface
-
Course Insights Dashboard to track engagement and outcomes
-
Easier-to-navigate Course Catalog and Registration tools
-
Streamlined course-building features
-
Improved roster management and transcript filters
-
Fewer, more focused tabs
-
The following tabs will be removed in August as their functionality is now integrated into the new interface: Professional Development, My Courses, Transfer Credit Manager, and PD Playlist
💡 How We’re Supporting You
We’re here to help every step of the way with multiple training options:
-
Live sessions during NCBOLD Week (July) for PD Office Administrators
-
Webinars with step-by-step walkthroughs for all NCEES users
-
Self-paced Help Guides (on the new Dashboard under the Professional Learning Interface tab)
-
On-Demand Video Tutorials – Coming Soon
We’re committed to providing a seamless transition and are grateful for your continued partnership in professional learning.
If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
The NCEES Team

2024-2025 School-Based Mental Health Policy Report
Dear Charter School Contacts,
In accordance with North Carolina SL 2019-245 and SL 2020-7 and with State Board of Education Policy SHLT-003, each K-12 school unit is required to upload a copy of their School Mental Health Improvement Plan for the upcoming school year and answer questions in the School Mental Health Policy Report.
In the online reporting portal, you will indicate that you are a charter school, and you will be directed to the SMH policy questions. To make it easier for you to assemble your report information prior to going online, a Word version and PDF of the online survey is attached to this email. Please complete the online survey to submit your report.
*New this year – Upon completion of your SMH report, you will be redirected to a separate Qualtrics survey titled “Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Annual Report - PSU Level”. If you are not prepared to complete your SMH report and the SISP Annual Report in the same sitting, you can use the following link to return to the SISP Annual Report at another time: https://ncdpi.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3Ei0Qd21ZI944Z0. Word and PDF versions of this data collection are also attached, and more information is available on our School Mental Health Policy Reporting page. The best contact for questions related to the SMH report and the new SISP Annual Report is Pachovia Lovett, School Social Work Consultant, Pachovia.Lovett@dpi.nc.gov, 984-236-2821.
The survey platform is setup to allow respondents to leave the survey and resume their progress later, so long as they return on the same browser where they started the survey and do not wait longer than a month to return to the survey. This feature works by placing a cookie on the respondent’s browser that keeps track of the survey progress.
The information needed to complete the SMH progress report will come from your School Mental Health Improvement Plan, which is required to upload and must include the mental health training program and suicide risk referral protocol.
Please note the deadline to complete the School Mental Health Policy Report is September 15, 2025.
You can access the reporting portal through the link below.

If you have questions or challenges in completing this online survey, please contact Les Spell at Les.Spell@dpi.nc.gov.
We appreciate the time and energy spent in completing this report and look forward to reading each submission.
