Project Lead The Way® core training is an integral part of a 3-phase professional development program that is offered during the summer on university campuses around the country. It is a foundational component of teacher preparation that is necessary to ensure an instructor’s readiness to deliver PLTW curricula to students. The Summer Training Institute (STI) provides a collaborative setting where teachers are immersed in content-specific, project-based instruction.
As a component of the renowned University of Texas System, The University of Texas at Tyler is located in the heart of East Texas between Dallas and Shreveport, Louisiana. The natural beauty of East Texas is exemplified by UT Tyler’s Harvey Lake and the many trees and rolling hills that give the campus a park-like environment. Our 204-acre wooded campus is built around the lake, which is stocked with ducks and turtles. The retreat atmosphere of UT Tyler is the perfect setting for the PLTW® Summer Training Institute.
