Abstract: This embedded single-case study examined the impact on school and classroom practices of selected K - 12 teachers who had attended professional development renewal seminars at the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT). The guiding hypothesis was that teacher renewal as evinced by a teacher's experiences at NCCAT resulted in changes in the areas collectively identified as school and classroom practices. Each teacher subject was involved in an NCCAT renewal seminar designed to assist teachers, with little or no expectation for benefits to students. The assumption that renewal experiences, unlike reform experiences, affect only teachers and not students was questioned.
