Theme: Addressing Student Needs in an Era of New Content Standards

Below are the dates and locations for the 2012 Summer Institutes. The registration window for 2012 Summer Institutes is Friday, March 9 - Friday, March 30 for all LEAs and Charter Schools. Local PD Leadership Teams designate specific representatives to attend this professional development experience. See below for more information.

Professional Development for District-and Charter School-level Teams

In 2012, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) will feature their second round of intensive, blended professional development sponsored by Race to the Top (RttT) for LEAs and Charter Schools. Summer Institutes are two (2) day face-to-face Summer Leadership Institutes for local LEA and Charter PD Leaders across the state. This is a collaborative effort on the part of the agency; all NCDPI divisions, including Curriculum and Instruction, District and School Transformation, Educator Recruitment and Development, and Exceptional Children will participate in and facilitate at the institutes. Attendance is expected from every district and RttT Charter School.

This blended PD focuses on the transition from the current Standard Course of Study to the new Common Core State and NC Essential Standards for all content areas (Math, English language arts, Science, Social Studies, World Languages, English Language Development (ELD), The Arts, and Healthful Living), Guidance and Information and Technology (ITES) Standards. North Carolina will implement these new standards for all content areas during the 2012-13 school year. In addition, information on Data Literacy, the NC Educator Evaluation System and Accountability will be featured at these trainings.

PLEASE NOTE: For more information about trainings hosted by our Exceptional Children's Division (which include trainings on the Extended Content Standards), please visit http://www.ncpublicschools.org/ec/development/ or contact Susan Davis at susan.davis@dpi.nc.gov.
