Heads Up High Schools - DiscoveryEd is now active for those high schools that requested it (if you are unsure check with your admin team). You can access through Classlink!
Announcement from DPI#GoOpenNC is
North Carolina’s free, statewide platform for educators to find, collaborate, and create standards aligned, openly licensed, supplemental instructional resources. Since launching in December of 2019, the platform has grown to over 38,000 resources, almost 30,000 users, and over 3,500 educator created resources using the authoring tool on the platform.
In an effort to continue to grow and share #GoOpenNC, we have started the #GoOpenNC Collaborators --- a group of educators at the charter school and district level who serve as ambassadors for #GoOpenNC and are the first to know about upcoming professional development and updates on #GoOpenNC. The goal is to have at least one representative from every PSU. You can see our current list of collaborators on this published sheet.
It is our hope that you will share the #GoOpenNC Collaborators form with those in your Public School Unit who will be champions for Open Education Resources and be involved in resource curation and building to ensure high quality resources are available for all K-12 SCOS areas. In addition, feel free to share our brief one-page document that highlights #GoOpenNC.
Our first virtual meeting for our #GoOpenNC Collaborators will be held on Friday, November 20th from 10am-12pm. An invitation to the meeting will be sent on Friday, November 6th to everyone on our collaborators list.
Thank you for your support in growing #GoOpenNC! If you have any questions, please contact Pam Batchelor at pamela.batchelor@dpi.nc.gov
Don't forget we have PD offerings listed on the JCPS Teacher Page bit.ly/jcpsteacher - there are 3 upcoming sessions on Nearpod, as well as offerings by content area on this site: bit.ly/jcpscredit. 6-12 might really be interested in these offerings for Wednesdays.

Fall 2016, Session 2- Instructor-facilitated Online Courses
Mark your calendars! Our second session of facilitated online courses will be open for registration soon. Below is the list of instructor–facilitated online courses being offered by Educator Effectiveness, NCDPI for the Fall Session 2. (Remember, that unlike these facilitated courses, our self-paced modules are always open for enrollment.) Our facilitated courses provide the opportunity to interact with peers and an instructor along with high-quality professional development. They combine the flexibility of working from anywhere at any time, and the benefits of working with a cohort of peers.
Fall Session 2 courses will start Monday October 17. Registration for these courses will open October 3, 2016. Registration is limited to 35 participants per section.

For a description of the courses and associated CEUs, and on information on how to register, visit our website https://rt3nc.org/. Talk to your Professional Development Coordinator at your school to get credit.
Additionally, we will also offer a session of Effective Digital Strategies for Teaching and Learning in the K-12 Classroom: A PD MOOClet. Duration: 6 Weeks (20 hours) Credits: 2 CEUs Maximum registration: 250, minimum registration 100
Please note that this course is structured differently from the traditional instructor-led courses above. This course is designed for active, collaborative learners who are self-driven, motivated, flexible and enjoy sharing information and resources. There is less-instructor interaction and relies heavily on participant interaction. It focuses on using digital tools and strategies to support teaching and learning and enriching individuals’ knowledge through developing communities of practice across the state. In this course, we will look at the 4Cs - Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication and Collaboration; keystones for the 21st century classroom. This MOOClet:
- Is learner-centered, focusing on participants’ professional needs in different disciplines and grade levels
- Focuses on participants as creators of content as much as they are “consumers” of content
- Involves extensive peer-to-peer communication
- Includes a larger number of students than a typical facilitator-led course and less facilitator feedback.
These courses are available at no cost to North Carolina educators and will be facilitated by DPI professionals. The courses are completed entirely online. Participants are expected to meet all weekly deadlines in order to receive CEUs. Partial credit will not be given. For a description of the courses and associated CEUs, and on information on how to register, visit our website https://rt3nc.org/
Contact Dr. Geetanjali Soni at Geetanjali.soni@dpi.nc.gov if you have any questions.
