Three North Carolina teachers have won Governor's Educator Discovery Awards to help strengthen their work in the classroom, Governor Roy Cooper and the North Carolina Business Committee for Education announced. Gladys Johnson from New Century International Middle School in Cumberland County, Kathy Bosiak from Lincolnton High School in Lincoln County, and Gabrielle Farrington from Durham Public Schools in Durham County will each receive a $1,000 award to pay for professional development.
"When educators get opportunities to grow as professionals, their students benefit as well," Governor Cooper said. "I'm excited to see the ways teachers will use these awards to develop their own skills and help their students develop the skills needed for future careers."
The Governor's Educator Discovery Award provides a stipend of up to $1,000 for teachers who teach in grades PreK-12 at public schools including charter schools. Teachers will use the awards to pursue a professional development experience of their choosing. This is the sixth round of teachers to receive the award and brings the total number of grants awarded to eighteen. Winning teachers are selected from an impressive and growing applicant pool, demonstrating a strong interest in the program and the opportunities it provides.
The latest teachers to receive grants will use their Governor's Educator Discovery Award in the following ways:
Gladys Johnson, AIG consultant/teacher in Fayetteville, will pursue International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) certification. ISTE works to engage and empower a community of global educators who believe in the power of technology to transform teaching and learning, accelerate innovation, and solve problems in education. ISTE Certification provides educators with training and recognition on how to implement technology in meaningful and transformative ways. The program combines 14 weeks of professional learning with a six-month portfolio application and review process.
