Professional Development

National Board of Professional Teaching Standards

The Foundation provides grants to teachers to pursue national certification and re-certification from the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards. Candidates for these grants must sign a pledge that they will remain as teachers in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools after successfully completing the initial certification or re-certification process. 

Contact the Foundation office at psf@chccs.k12.nc.us for application information in order to access these grants.

 

District Professional Development

As a part of its strategic planning for 2010-13, the Foundation has identified professional development as a significant need. The need has been underscored by focus groups of teachers at elementary, middle and high school levels who identified staff development funding as their primary need.

Those who have suggestions or specific requests should contact the Foundation at psf@chccs.k12.nc.us. Subsequent guidelines for this support will be posted.
