PLTW Teacher Training
PLTW Teacher Training is a three-phase professional development program designed to teach the content and pedagogical skills needed to instruct each PLTW course. It’s focused on proper preparation, in-depth training and continuing education. The three phases of teacher training are:
Phase 1: Readiness Training
Phase 2: Core Training Summer Institutes. Six sessions will be held in 2013. View and download the 2012 Participant Information Packets for Session I and Session II.
Phase 3: Ongoing Training for PLTW Course Updates
Teacher Selection
It is recommended that teachers instructing a PLTW course should have, as a minimum, a Bachelor’s Degree and be in compliance with applicable state teacher licensure or certification requirements. Additionally, for the PLTW Biomedical Sciences Curricular Program, teachers should have successfully completed at least two semesters of college-level biology and have experience in the techniques and methods of modern biology, molecular biology, or physiology.
