The NCCCFA provides grants to three teachers (one from each region) to
the North Carolina Great Teachers Retreat each year. This weekend of
RELAXATION and RENEWAL is scheduled for the final weekend in February.
NOW is the time to apply for one of the scholarships.
The 14th annual North Carolina Great Teachers Retreat will be held
February 22-25, 2007 at the Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville,
NC. As with its many counterparts across North America & beyond,
the retreat focuses on innovations and problems in teaching at the
community college level.
The purposes of the retreat include the following:
• To celebrate good teaching.
• To venture beyond the limits of our own specializations and
environments in search of transferable ideas and the universals of
teaching.
• To develop an atmosphere of introspection and self-appraisal by
providing a relaxed setting and straightforward process where
participants seriously review and contemplate their attitudes, methods,
and behavior as teachers.
• To practice a rational analysis of instructional problems and
develop realistic, creative approaches and solutions that address those
specific problems.
• To exchange information and ideas by building an expanding
network of communication among teaching faculty in higher education.
• To renew ourselves professionally and personally.
