Important |
| The NC A&T Teaching Fellows seminars
are held on Tuesday Evening from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in a location
determine by the director. Seminars
are a NC A&T Teaching Fellows requirement. Any
Teaching Fellow who misses any required
activity, without an excused
absence from the director, and/or does not complete their required
substitution may not receive
their scholarship funds the following semester. This also affects
students who are habitually late. All activities listed on the seminar
schedule are required events. Office Number: 334-7175 or shoard@ncat.edu
or stop by the office Edward B. Fort (IRC Building) room 17.
Ed Scholars must participate in required seminars each semester, failure to do so will result in funds being withheld the following semester or you will not be eligible to reapply for your scholarship the next academic year. |
Community Service Team
Projects |
| Teaching Fellows and Education Scholars will select a community service project team. Each student must have an active roll in the project. When each team presents the outcome of their effort everyone must participate. Teams will evaluate the presentations and each member will evaluate each other. Failure to be a contributing member of the team project may place a Teaching Fellow or Ed Scholar’s scholarship funds in jeopardy. |
Lyceums |
| Teaching Fellows are to attend two cultural events each semester, i.e. campus lectures or theatrical performances and write a reflection that must be submitted to the director. The deadline for the typed reflections is the closeout seminar each semester. |

North Carolina Teaching
Fellows Summer Activities |
| Failure to attend your spring/summer activities without submitting a NC Teaching Fellows Summer Enrichment Request Form and receiving written approval from Gladys Graves or Melissa Churchwell, will result in your scholarship funds being withheld the following semester. Arriving late or leaving early from your summer activities without written approval from Gladys Graves or Melissa Churchwell could also result in your scholarship funds being withheld the following semester. In order to make-up a spring/summer requirement you will have to pay the activity fee. If you have any questions or concerns about the summer activities contact Mrs. Hoard immediately, Gladys Graves or Melissa Churchwell (919-781-6833, the Raleigh office). |
| Remember to check your email regularly and stop by the Teaching Fellows office to check-in with the director. |
Program Attendance
& Requirements Policy |
| Attendance Policy: Upon signing the promissory note with the North Carolina Teaching Fellows Commission, Fellows have pledged to fulfill the academic requirements necessary for certification as a teacher in North Carolina. Award recipients have also agreed to meet all program requirements unique to the Teaching Fellows Program at NCA&TSU. The University is totally committed to preparing educators of excellence and, thereby, holds NCA&TSU Teaching Fellows to a high standard of participation in both curricular and extra-curricular programs. |
DEFAULTING ON THE SCHOLARSHIP/LOAN |
| ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED AT ALL NC A&T TEACHING FELLOWS ACTIVITES LISTED ON THE SEMINAR SCHEDULE UNLESS INDICATED THE ACTIVITY IS OPTIONAL. |
| Failure to attend required activities,
complete program requirements, and required substitutions, will result
in scholarship monies being withheld the following semester. If it
is the fellow’s last semester the scholarship will be called
in because the student is in default of the scholarship agreement.
Students who are habitually late will also put their scholarship in
jeopardy. NC A&T Teaching Fellows who have a conflict; will be late; or must leave early during a required activity, must contact the Director prior to the event to discuss their situation. Fellows who miss a required activity must complete a substitution or a written case study provided by the A&T Teaching Fellows Director. NC A&T Teaching Fellows cannot pick the substitution for the missed required activity. WORK, ORGANIZATIONAL
MEETINGS, UNEXPECTED GUEST, EXTRACURRICULAR RESPONSIBLITIES, ETC….
are not an excuse for missing, coming late,
or leaving any required Teaching Fellows activity early. Students
must discuss their situation with the director before the scheduled
activity, not during the activity. Clear communication and follow through
will insure that no NC A&T Teaching Fellows default on their
scholarship/loan. |
