Call for Proposals

What sets the PACKED Summit apart from other professional development opportunities for teachers with three or less years experience is the fact that almost all of our sessions are run by experienced teachers. This is an opportunity for experienced teachers to share their expertise with those who are just starting to develop their craft. If you are an experienced teacher, we welcome your proposals to present at the PACKED Summit. All sessions will be 60 minutes in length. The deadline for submitting proposals is Monday, April 13.

Resources for Educators

Faculty and staff in the NC State College of Education draw on research, best practices and, in many cases, their own experiences to support in-service K-12 educators. Among the support they provide are resources, tips and professional development opportunities for educators at all levels.
