PD 6602 – We Teach 4 NC Spring Break Trip

Teach for NC is a cultural immersion trip that engages NC State students in high-poverty, low-performing schools in rural and high-poverty areas of North Carolina. This program would allow education students to explore and appreciate the cultural, socio-economic, and educational patterns particular to that region of the state.

Students will visit innovative K-12 sites, interact with county administrators and teachers, and engage with community leaders and business partners to better understand the infrastructure of how collective impact supports post-secondary success.

The ultimate goal of this program is to grow the pipeline of highly qualified educators to rural and high-poverty school districts. We know that immersion experiences in conjunction with existing partnerships are critical to engaging College of Education students as they consider the many options they have for teaching positions.

We believe Teach for NC can impact their decision-making and result in more graduates choosing to work in rural and high-poverty areas.
