Online Courses for Teachers

The N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh offers seven six-week online workshops for educators. Teachers can earn continuing education credit, boost their knowledge of North Carolina topics, and get ideas for classroom activities. These self-paced workshops are available to public, private, and home-school educators.

The courses provide up to four CEUs (40 contact hours) but can be tailored to the number of contact hours (including regular, reading and technology credits).
