 The 11th Annual Content Teaching Academy will be held June 28-July 2, 2010 on the campus of James Madison University, located in the beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley. The programs (Academies) offer high quality professional development that include in-depth studies in a range of content areas. In addition, each Academy is designed to engage participants in critical dialogues of practice with instructional sessions conducted by scholars and master teachers who understand the challenges associated with today's classroom.

Academies are open to educators in Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., North Carolina, and West Virginia.

Completion of an Academy constitutes an institute, which is one of the options that may be used for veteran teachers to attain "highly-qualified" status under NCLB.  Participants interested in obtaining highly qualified status are encouraged to contact the appropriate personnel in their division.  Click here for more information on requirements to meet the Highly Qualified designation.

Participants are expected to attend all sessions to receive credit.  Follow up work is required for the highly qualified designation and graduate course credit, only. No follow up work is required for participants interested in earning 30 hours of recertification credit.
