Institute

NC NTSP Institute is designed to target the knowledge and skills most needed by beginning teachers. The program serves traditional educator preparation program teachers and residency teachers. Two e-Institutes are held each year and focus on a variety of topics aligned with planning, instruction, and assessment while addressing equity, diversity, and inclusive classroom practices. A few of these topics are below.

Planning for content understanding
Knowing you students
Learning environment
Instructional Rigor
Deepening student understanding and engagement
Providing meaningful feedback
Using assessment to inform instruction
Classroom culture
Using assessment to inform instruction
Resiliency
Growth Mindset
Blended learning and technology

While attending the e-Institute, teachers self-select professional development sessions designed and facilitated by NC NTSP Instructional Coaches. Teachers engage in activities that provide techniques and strategies that they can use immediately upon returning to their classroom. Additionally, teachers can network with other educators who teach the same content area or grade level by attending one of the Content Knowledge Groups (CKGs). During these sessions, NC NTSP Instructional Coaches support attendees with unpacking standards and sharing best practices.

To learn more about the sessions provided during the most recent e-Institutes, view the detailed agendas linked below.

Session recordings are available in the NC NTSP online portal, “Seeing is Believing Me” (SIBME). If you need access to SIBME, please contact us. In the meantime, you may view a sampling of these recordings below.

“Throughout the 2-day Institute, I attended several sessions designed to meet my needs in planning, instruction, and assessment. I had the opportunity to network with other teachers who teach the same content which allowed me to walk away with new ideas and strategies that I used in my classroom the very next day.” - Teacher
