Teacher Training Sessions

The participating school districts implement the five-course sequence based on a plan developed in partnership with colleges and universities, operate a Partnership Team with members drawn from higher education and the private sector and serve as models for other school districts. The curriculum these teachers are required to teach utilizes cutting edge technology and software requiring specialized training. Significant attention is paid to assessing the teachers' readiness for training. If necessary, teachers then receive readiness training provided by their schools to prepare them for the intensive core training provided during the Summer Training Institute. Ongoing training supports the teachers as they implement the program and provides for continuous improvement of skills.
