UNC TARS and Teacher Preparation

One important component of the NC SIP II project is the dedication to continue working with the institutes of higher education (IHEs) in North Carolina to expand and improve their teacher education programs.

A major component of the continuation of the NC SIP II project is the UNC Technical Assistance and Resource System (UNC TARS). A primary role of the UNC TARS project involves the systematic delivery of technical assistance and resources to teacher education programs for the preparation of teachers of students with disabilities.

Explore the UNC TARS section of this site for access to information on current teachers preparation programs in special education, ongoing plans for teacher recruitment and retention, state resources for North Carolina teachers, licensing and certification, and an overview of the Cooperative Planning Consortium in Special Education (CPC).
