Welcome to the North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program Web site at Western Carolina University. We have a long tradition of excellence in teacher education—over 115 years-- and our Teaching Fellows Program was one of the original nine established by the State.

2006-2007

We currently have approximately 135 active Teaching Fellows who are excited that you are considering a career in teaching and curious about our program. We hope you enjoy touring our Web site and will contact us if you need additional information.
