North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program Get the Ax.

Jenny Bajorek, a fifth-grade teacher at Northwoods Elementary School in Cary, talks to student Sumera Ingram, left. Bajorek became a teacher via the Teaching Fellows Program, which gives scholarships to aspiring teachers

In a terribly myopic decision, the State of North Carolina has eliminated its popular and effective Teaching Fellows Program (and much of its professional development programs). We as a State are headed in reverse relative to our State’s rich past and the rest of the country’s highest-achieving states.”


Perfect, perfect summary from a college friend of mine.

I don’t want to be partisan about this but the Republican-controlled General Assembly is slowly chipping away at the future of NC. 

“Divesting in the Future” should be their next campaign cry.
