TeachNC’s mission is to inspire the next generation of amazing educators—starting with you.
TeachNC was launched in 2019 to elevate the image of the teaching profession and increase the quantity and quality of teachers entering North Carolina’s classrooms. In service of this mission, TeachNC includes a full suite of strategic recruitment activities including a robust communications campaign, a comprehensive website encompassing all existing resources in the state, and 1-on-1 personalized support for teacher candidates. These resources create a trusted, safe, and user-friendly support system for anyone considering a teaching career in North Carolina. TeachNC was created through a public-private partnership between NC DPI, TEACH.org, and BEST NC in collaboration with North Carolina’s public schools, districts, and educator preparation programs.
“Every North Carolina student deserves an excellent, highly-qualified teacher in every classroom. From my own experience as an educator, teaching is one of the most rewarding professions one can pursue. Having a resource like TeachNC is important for future teachers to find all the tools, resources, and information about the profession they need to begin their journey to becoming an educator in North Carolina.” – Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt
