Class Projects and Course Credit

Two afternoons each week teachers will have the opportunity to work on individual projects applying the content and/or approach of the institute to their classrooms and fields of study. Our master teacher and curriculum specialist along with core faculty will meet individually with scholars to discuss and assist in project development.  We will pay careful attention to help connect the lessons scholars develop to learning benchmarks they must address in their individual classrooms, whatever the age or subject.

Upon completion of the Power and Place: Land and Culture in Appalachia, teachers will receive letters confirming the contact hours of the workshop and its activities. Participants will have 120 contact hours for the 3 week Institute. For interested participants, UNCA’s office of Graduate and Continuing Education will award CEUs for a minimal fee.
