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.
