• Teaching and Learning Hubs. The Hubs — created by The Belk Center, Achieving the Dream (ATD), and the NC Student Success Center — help faculty and staff educators build equity into learning and student success. The Hubs offer in-person, virtual, and hybrid workshops and seminars, all of which are open to full- and part-time faculty and staff educators.
• The NC SSC offers a variety of workshops that help faculty improve their practice.
• The NC SSC also is offering cohorts of faculty the opportunity to participate in an Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) micro-credential course. Two cohorts began in July 2020 with more to follow fall 2020. The first micro-credential is “Creating an Inclusive and Supportive Online Learning Environment.” The NC SSC is determining how cohorts will be structured but plans to provide opportunities to a variety of faculty, including full-time, part-time, Curriculum, Adult Ed, Con-Ed, and Career and Technical Education (CTE).
