Adult Education Professional Development

Instructor Boot Camps

NCCCS offers three comprehensive five-week, asynchronous online course designed to enhance skills in leveraging and integrating generative AI across ABE, ASE, HSE and ELA contexts. Whether a complete beginner or an experienced AI user, this course provides the tools to optimize lesson planning, develop engaging instructional materials, and streamline administrative tasks. For this unique course, the instructor also offers optional one-hour weekly synchronous sessions via Zoom, providing an opportunity to discuss course content, address questions, and explore advanced applications of the material. It is important to note that the Generative AI Boot Camp for Adult Ed Professionals course does not meet the requirements of an instructional credential as outlined in the NC Title II Providers’ Guide.
