Charlotte Teachers Institute seeking faculty seminar leaders

Charlotte faculty members who are interested in sharing their research with a broader audience should apply to be a 2023 seminar leader with the Charlotte Teachers Institute.

CTI is an educational partnership among UNC Charlotte, Johnson C. Smith University and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to strengthen teaching and learning through collaboration, creativity, leadership and content knowledge.

As a seminar leader, University faculty collaborate with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools teachers to create original curricula for their students. CMS teachers in grades PK-12 apply to participate in these professor-led seminars based upon their research and teaching interests. Participating CMS teachers become CTI Fellows, and to date, more than 800 CTI Fellows have written 1,145 original curriculum units, all available on CTI’s website.

Check out CTI’s website for more information, including the commitment to racial equity and testimonials from teachers, professors and funders. Submit your seminar ideas by Monday, Sept. 12. CTI Director Scott Gartlan will follow up on all proposals; email questions to srgartla@uncc.edu.
