Registration is now open for Effective Teacher Training, a useful course for those teaching North Carolina public school systems. It is a required course for Buncombe County substitutes. The class is offered through UNC Asheville’s Extension Education Office.

Effective Teacher Training will cover a variety of subject areas, including North Carolina public school policy and course of study, behavior management, sub packets, strategies for students with learning disabilities, emergency procedures and legal issues. The course qualifies as a continuing education unit (CEU) for certification renewal and the No Child Left Behind Act.

The class will meet from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on four consecutive Saturdays from July 21-August 11 on the UNC Asheville campus. Cost is $75 plus textbook, which is available at the UNC Asheville bookstore. Participants will receive a certificate of completion. Three CEU credits are available with a $15 processing fee due with a completed form at the end of the class. Class size is limited. Early registration is suggested.
