What
LTF is offering a four-day Summer Institute for teachers of English, mathematics, and science. LTF training is hands-on, teacher-to-teacher training. Certified LTF Trainers provide in-depth training using LTF materials, the latest classroom technologies, laboratory experiments, and online resources. Created by master classroom teachers, the LTF materials and resources can be used immediately in the classroom to add rigor to the existing curriculum.
LTF is a Training Program. Participating teachers are asked to commit to 12 days of training over a three year period—four, seven and one half-hour training days each summer.
Participating teachers receive an LTF guide, access to the diagnostic materials and resources available on the LTF website, membership in the new LTF Online Professional Learning Communities, and support from LTF trainers and staff members. Texas teachers will receive 30-hours of CPE credit for attendance at the institute and will fulfill the annual six-hour Gifted and Talented update.
