UNC Pembroke appointed the dean of the School of Education, Dr. Loury Floyd,  as the chair of the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education Committee on Meetings and Professional Development. 

"This is quite an honor for Dean Loury Floyd to have been approached by the AACTE organizational leadership asking her to lead this professional development initiative," said interim Provost Zoe Locklear.  

The committee is in charge of recommending and supporting professional development activities that strengthen programs to prepare educators to teach children effectively. 

The committee’s work includes: 

  • Identifying and developing themes and strands for the annual meeting, drafting the accompanying calls for proposals and coordinating the proposal solicitation process 
  • Verifying the annual meeting proposal review process, ensuring reviews are completed and making decisions on member sessions based on reviewer feedback. 
  • Recommending speakers and topics for AACTE sessions during the annual meeting 
  • Advising on topics and programming for the leadership academy. 
  • Advising AACTE regarding the professional development needs of the membership and new formats for delivery of professional development activities.

Floyd will provide oversight to the development of more than 800 postsecondary institutions with educator preparation programs.

“I'm confident of Dr. Floyd's ability to take the program to the next level of excellence,” added Locklear.
