Web site designed to help state recruit new teachers AL WHITE _ CHRONICLE INTERN North Carolina is aggres sively trying to recruit more teachers for its public schools. According to the N.C. Educa tion Research Council, the state's public and private col leges and universi ties are graduat ing about 5,000 teachers each year, and only 3,200 of those take teaching positions in North Carolina. Under the auspices of Gov. Mike Easley, the N.C. Business Committee for Education (NCBCE) has established the Teach4NC initiative. The emphasis of this initia tive is captured in the organiza tion's Web site, www.Teach4NC.com. The pur pose is to recruit teachers, both traditionally and through alter native means. The lateral entry program establishes a means for people who maintain a rele vant college degree, including business professionals and teaching assistants, to begin teaching while obtaining their permanent teacher's certifica tion. According to the NCBCE, the University of North Caroli na system estimates that the state's schools will need more than 120,000 new teachers over the next decade. Forsyth County, alone, has a 10.19 per cent teacher turnover rate com pared with the state average of 12.49 percent. NCBCE serves as an advo cate for business issues and resourceful change within North Carolina's public educa tional institutions. It is a^on partisan, nonprofit organiza tion under the patronage of 63 businesses across the state. including Alltel, Duke Power Co., and Martin Marietta Mate rials Inc. Vivian Turner, a rep resentative of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., is among the members of the board of direc tors. For more information about the initiative, visit www.Teach4NC.com. Turner / File Photo According to statistics, teacher turnover rates throughout the state are higher than average. Course from page A1 as well. Once students have gradu ated from the course, their names will be added to the city's volunteer databases and they will be encouraged to participate on the various boards and commissions. CWSU alumni will be regard ed as meaningful assets to the city government. If CWSU proves to be suc cessful, Collins looks forward to it becoming an annual part of Winston-Salem's budget. "All the cities that we've found that have done this have been extremely success ful, and it's been a very, very popular program for the city and for the citizens," Collins said. "They really get a lot out of it," she added. For more information, contact Collins at 727-2317. _ . _ , Ptw*<*. b> Pa^U nJlms Lfancers tram Otesha Arts Ensemble perform an energetic dance. Kwanzaa from page AI ates Heritage Gallery, an arts and crafts gallery on Trade Street, said of Kwanzaa: "It's a time to mingle with the community. It's a time to gather together to meet people and fellowship." She said she was also looking forward to the drumming and the dancing that would be featured at last Thursday night's celebration. "I love the arts." Monticello Mitchell said this was his first time attending a Kwanzaa celebration in Winston Salem. but he attended Kwanzaa celebrations when he lived in Baltimore. "What it meant for me was a celebration of the African spirit. It was more of'a celebration of African life and values and cul ture... something thut's so truly missed in our community today ... All seven principles of Kwanzaa, to me, seem to have much value, much needed value in our community, to bring some of that back. 1 really enjoy the whole program actually." Origi nally from Winston-Salem, Mitchell moved back to Win ston-Salem in 1998 after living in Baltimore. Debra James said the Kwan zaa celebrations in Winston Salem usually draw on average 150 to 200 people a night. She told the audience last Thursday night that since Kwanzaa is a harvest celebration, "be thankful for the harvest, the bounty and the goodness we have received throughout the year." Friday night.
