21st CENTURY LEADERSHIP:
A Learning Initiative for Carteret County Media Coordinators
Students in the 21st Century need caring, competent teachers, but they also need the benefit of new methods, innovative technologies, and a renewed vision of public school. They need a 21st Century education in terms of tools and approach.
--Dr. June Atkinson, State Superintendent--
Scope/Purpose: During the 2007-08 school year, Carteret County's school media coordinators will participate in a series of staff development opportunities which will assist them in the development of 21st Century skills as they relate to teaching and learning. Staff development opportunities will be provided in the areas of Research Models, Web 2.0 and Lexiles. The purpose of this plan is to ensure that Carteret County media coordinators have the 21st preparation and access to ongoing high quality professional development that is aligned with the State Board of Education priorities.
