Mooring selected as
NCCAT participant
The North Carolina Center for the
. Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT),
I under the general auspices of the
- University of North Carolina Board
of Governors and located on the cam
pus of Western Carolina University,
is a statewide program dedicated ex
clusively to the advancement of tea
ching as an art and as a profession.
? Its goal is to provide outstanding ca
? reer teachers with humanities and to
! engage in informed discourse, as
sisted by able mentors and outstand
ing leaders from a variety of disci
? plines; and otherwise to offer
opportunities for teachers to engage
? in scholarly pursuits.
I The North Carolina Center for the
; Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT)
has some very exciting seminars and
speakers arranged. Designed to chal
lenge the intellect, these seminars
? will explore significant issues
through carefully selected readings
and lively discussions and debate.
There also will be time for reading
and reflection, recreational pursuit,
and informal exchange of ideas with
disguished resource persons and fel
low educators.
The Center stives to reward and re
juvenate North Carolina public
school teachers and, thereby, estab
lish a network among outstanding ed
ucators across the state. We do not
award grades or credit. Instead, the
Center is concerned with providing
intellectually stimulating experi
ences in a retreat setting so that tea
chers can return to their schools feel
ing mentally and physically
refreshed. We suggest that teachers
sign up for an area of interest other
than their own academic discipline,
to provide additional intellectual
challenge.
Dorothy Morring, Kindergarten
teacher at Perquimans Central
School, t has been selected to attend
the North Carolina Center for the Ad
vancement of Teaching at Western
Carolina University in Cullowhee,
North Carolina. Her preference of
seminars entatled "Overcoming Bar
riers in America" is scheduled for
April 26th through April 30th. This
seminar will examine the historical
barriers to full participation by
women, ethnic minorities, and the
handicapped. Speakers include Che
rokee historian Dr. William Ander
son, North Carolina poet Kay Byer,
and Dr. Jane Schulz, author of "Par
ents and Professionals in Special Ed
ucation."
Testing information
Students in our local schools are
joining students across North Caro
lina in preparing for the 1967 annual
testing program.
In 1977, the state General Assem
! bly passed a bill mandating annual
; testing especially in grades three,
? six, and eight. Local tjoards of educa
tion have expanded their testing pro
grams to cover all grades from kin
dergarten to grade 12.
; Tests are important because they
; tell teachers and parents about a
child. Tests also tell how a child is
doing in comparison with others in
his-her class. Finally, once a school
is aware of weak skill areas, it takes
steps to develop a better educational
program for each child.
If you are a parent or guardian,
you may be wondering how you can
help to increase your child's chances
of successfully completing the up
coming tests. Here are a few sugges
tions:
1. Remember that children differ in
their abilities;
Encourage your child to take a se
rious, but not a frantic, approach to
; ward the tests;
; Try not to upset your child on the
mornings of testing;
? 4. Make sure your child gets a good
night's sleep before each day of test
ing. Nutrition is also important. A
good breakfast is highly recom
mended.
5. Give your child at least 2 pencils
each day marked No. 2. The tests
will be scored by computers ;
? 6. Make certain that your child at
tends school regularly especially on
test days (March 30 to April 3) ; and
7. Contact your child's school if you
need more information.
These are just a few suggestions
for parents and guardians. Hope
fully, students will realize that the re
sults of testing rest primarily in their
attitude and approach? they control
the pencil. !
Happy Testing, Kids!
