Intel Teach® is a proven, worldwide professional development program that helps educators enhance 21st century learning through the effective use of technology. The program delivers a range of offerings which includes both in person and online instruction and incorporates relevant and useful online tools and resources. The program promotes 21st century learning skills critical for student success in today's knowledge economy: skills such as digital literacy, problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration.
A Proven Program
Intel Teach is the most successful educator professional development program of its kind. With over 3 million teachers trained in 35 countries, the program has been driving systemic change in teaching and learning since 1999. In the United States, Essentials demonstrates research-proven outcomes in an independent evaluation conducted by the Education Development Center4 (EDC).
Among the findings:
• Teachers feel prepared to integrate technology after this training. They not only rated the training positively, but reported feeling more prepared to integrate technology into their teaching after program participation.
• Teachers do something new when they return to their classrooms. Large numbers of teachers used their unit plans with their students after the training, and many created other new technology-integrated lessons as well.
• Teachers’ involvement in project-based technology integration is focused and sustained over time. Teachers reported that they continue to use the materials they developed during the training and to engage in additional technology-rich activities. Teachers also consistently reported that they felt the pedagogical ideas presented in the training were relevant to their teaching.
• 96% said that they would recommend the course to a friend or colleague.
NCLB Aligned
In its evaluation of the Intel Teach Program, EDC found the program to be closely aligned with the exacting criteria for high-quality professional development outlined in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. For the full NCLB alignment report, visit www.intel.com/education/teach/nclb.
How It Works
Intel Teach uses a train-the-trainer model. Teachers learn from other teachers’ best practices for how, when, and where technology can enhance student learning. A Local Education Agency (LEA), such as a school, district, or state agency, applies to have their teachers participate in one or both offerings. Upon approval, the LEA identifies candidates for Intel Teach Master Teacher training. Once successfully trained, these Master Teachers recruit and provide professional development for local Participant Teachers. All training, materials and support are provided without charge.
