FORMAT AND CONTENT
Teachers in the year long program meet in cohort groups led by eMINTS trainers for three full days over the summer and then monthly throughout the school year for professional development and collegial sharing. The eMINTS trainer will provide additional support including in-classroom coaching, virtual support, an online community of practice, and more. These support and coaching opportunities are critical in transfer of training content into classroom practice. |
