University-School Teacher Education Partnership (USTEP)

The Teachers Academy, as the umbrella group representing all the professional programs across campus that license teachers and other professional educators, has established a partnership with 15 school districts in our region that constitute the Piedmont Triad Educational Consortium (PTEC) for the purpose of re-instating joint school-university partnership projects. An advisory board consisting of PTEC and Teachers Academy representatives was established in Spring 2012 to re-invigorate and guide this partnership under the guidance of Dr. Barbara Levin, Director of the Teachers Academy, and Dr. Larry Coble, Director of PTEC. Grants are available for joint projects between UNCG faculty and teachers in PTEC schools. Please contact Dr. Barbara Levin at bblevin@uncg.edu for more information about USTEP projects.
