Pinpoint Your Professional Development Plan With BOOST™
The growing emphasis on STEM education and the introduction of rigorous new standards have intensified the need for effective professional development for front line math and science educators.
That’s where the new T³™ BOOST program from Texas Instruments can play a significant role in your school or district.
What is BOOST?
It’s a “right-sized” professional development program focused on helping math and science educators integrate technology effectively and successfully into instruction. It’s flexible and customized so it delivers the right “boost” for your instructional initiatives.
How does it work?
Our new T³ BOOST program blends both on-site and online professional development and coaching to help educators learn to use TI technologies as a core component of instruction. You can choose a one- or two-semester package, depending on your specific needs and the number of teachers who will participate. The samples shown here provide an initial “roadmap” for BOOST programs. The T³ BOOST Program can be modified and can include additional coaching based on your teachers needs.
