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:
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.
To wrap up the first day, attendees were able to meet up for a social event at the Brad Halling American Whiskey Ko. in Southern Pines where a $10,000 check was presented to the Joint Special Operations Foundation for their scholarship fund. Photo pr
