The application deadline is Mar. 18. Online applications will open in mid-February.

CTI’s 2015 seminars include these intriguing topics led by faculty from Davidson College and UNC Charlotte:

Full-time CMS teachers are eligible to apply to become CTI Fellows who collaborate with higher education faculty in these long term seminars to develop innovative curriculum for CTI Fellows’ own students. Seminars begin in April and continue through November, including a summer reading and research period. CTI Fellows receive a $1500 stipend and three continuing education credits for their curriculum development work.

CTI is an educational partnership of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS), Davidson College and UNC Charlotte, designed to strengthen teaching in CMS by cultivating content knowledge, creativity, leadership skills and collaboration among local public school teachers.
