The Teaching Resources Center provides instructional materials, equipment, and services that support the students, faculty, and staff of the School of Education, the UNCG campus, and teachers throughout the Piedmont Triad.

The TRC serves as a model school library media center offering a large collection of picture books, young adult fiction, nonfiction, audiobooks, board books, big books, kits, manipulatives and DVD’s. We also have professional resources useful in preparing lesson plans, all K-12 state adopted textbooks, and study guides for NC teacher exams.

The SELF (Student Educator Learning Factory) Design Studio serves as a makerspace where School of Education faculty and students learn and create with hands-on resources and activities. Collaboration with area teachers and PK-12 students helps prepare pre-service teachers to become educational leaders who will engage students with innovative and creative learning models.
