Program Overview

NCTeach is a program designed to provide mid-career college graduates with the opportunity to become teachers especially in high demand areas. The program provides coursework that consists of six modules delivered during the spring, summer, and fall semesters. All participants completing this program are expected to complete the initial licensure requirements at their host sites, adding content area coursework as needed.

The NCTeach curriculum modules focus on the foundations and pedagogy for teacher preparation. These are organized in six strands: 1) the professional role of the teacher, 2) understanding the learner, 3) effective teaching in general, 4) effective teaching in the content area, 5) technology, and 6) the school environment.
