| Intel® Teach Thinking with Technology Delivery Guidelines |
|
|
The Intel® Teach Thinking with Technology Course was developed in a modular format to allow for a flexible delivery schedule. However, in order to maintain high quality, the following delivery guidelines and scheduling options have been established:
|
|
|
Master Teachers (MTs) should allow a week after completing their MT training before delivering the course to Participant Teachers (PTs). MTs schedule courses for PTs and order materials online; ordering materials one month in advance of the start date is optimal.

The course for MTs is either 32 or 40 hours, selected by the Intel Teach Affiliate. MTs receive instruction on all 11 modules. After successful completion of Thinking with Technology, MTs are certified to deliver the course to PTs in a modular format. See the Curriculum Overview for details on available configurations.
