NBHS Governor appoints teacher to NCCAT board Governor Beverly Perdue has
appointed North Buncombe High School teacher Deborah Aldridge of Old Fort, as well as Gregory West of Fayetteville and Jackie Wooten of Bethel, to the Board of Trustees of the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NC- CAT). Aldridge, an English teacher,
will represent Region 8. She is also an NCCAT alumna. “As a teacher I have been invigorated by attending professional devel- opment programs at NCCAT,” Aldridge said. “As a trustee, I hope to encourage NCCAT as it continues its work of re-energiz- ing the deserving and dedicated teachers of North Carolina.” “Each of these individuals
brings to our board a proven record of dedication to quality public education in North Car- olina,” said Dr. Mary McDuff- ie, executive director of NC- CAT. “We welcome them and look forward to benefiting from their knowledge, skills and ex- perience as we move NCCAT
forward in providing profes- sional development opportu- nities that result in a corps of strong teachers and successful students across our state.” With campuses in Cullowhee
and Ocracoke, NCCAT posi- tively impacts public education by providing extraordinary pro- fessional development for North Carolina teachers throughout their careers. NCCAT’s instruc- tional programming is designed to give both beginning and ex- perienced teachers the support
and resources they need to be highly effective and enhance student achievement. NCCAT conducts interdisci-
plinary, content-specific, resi- dential seminars for pre-kin- dergarten through 12th-grade teachers in the environmental and biological sciences, arts, humanities, mathematics, lead- ership and technology. For more information about NCCAT, go to
