Gain Confidence with PLTW's Professional Development for Teachers
PLTW is not “curriculum in a box” or “watch this video and then teach it.” Our signature Core Training is intensely collaborative professional development, taught by PLTW-certified Master Teachers who are also current classroom practitioners and leaders.
“The networking and building of meaningful relationships during PLTW Core Training was only the beginning, and I feel that it will continue to grow for years to come. I am honored that I get to be a part of such a great teaching community that inspires our children for the future.”
