Learn NC Summer Courses

The summer months are a great time to earn renewal credit. Here are some courses that LEARN NC has coming up:

Featured course: Archaeology and North Carolina's First Peoples
Jul 12–Sep 5
Theresa McReynolds
6.0 CEUs * $125
If you thought archaeology was strictly the domain of history teachers and Indiana Jones, think again. LEARN NC’s online professional development course Archaeology and North Carolina’s First Peoples lets educators of all subjects and grade levels explore 12,000 years (!) of human history in North Carolina.
This course, which runs from July 12 through September 5, is worth 6 CEUs, and costs only $125. In addition to teachers, we encourage non-classroom educators who work with students or archaeological resources (i.e., park managers, camp counselors, etc.) to enroll as well.
