Teachers:

Graduate Credit For Teachers During Summer Training: Teachers enrolled in Project Lead The Way courses during the Summer Training Institutes at Rochester Institute of Technology and National Affiliate Training Centers may earn graduate credit for these courses.

Because the PLTW courses parallel existing National Affiliate courses, teachers are required to demonstrate they have met the standards of the college course through the completion of a portfolio, a written examination, and/or a paper, depending on the specific requirements for each graduate college course.

Teachers interested in college credit will have the program requirements explained at the beginning of the Summer Training Institute. At that time, teachers will complete an application, complete the additional requirements for receiving credit, and will pay tuition, which may vary depending on the training institute.
