Commonly referred to as the CMC, the Curriculum Materials Center contains state-adopted textbooks for grades kindergarten through twelve. In addition, the collection contains many supplemental educational resources such as math manipulatives, slides, audiocassettes, software, etc. They are located on the first floor of the library, and will run the latest multi-media software. In the CMC itself are a carousel projector, overhead and opaque projectors, a Scantron machine, and other audiovisual equipment. The primary purpose of the Curriculum Materials Center is to meet the needs of Wingate University students and their professors in the Education Department.
Students use the textbooks and other materials to develop lesson plans as they learn how to teach.
An important auxiliary purpose of the Curriculum Materials Center is to serve as a resource for all North Carolina public school teachers. The CMC is also open to any North Carolina public school teachers or staff. Access To gain admission to the CMC, Wingate University students, faculty, or staff must show a valid Wingate University ID-card. Public school teachers must show their Passport cards.
