How are teachers selected for the eMINTS program? Are they expected to be technology literate?
School districts are responsible for selecting the teachers who participate in the eMINTS program. Districts should select teachers who are flexible and who are willing to use the new technology and participate in student centered, higher order, collaborative instruction. School districts may use looping, departmentalization, or self-contained classrooms as part of the eMINTS program. They may use integrated curriculum approaches or a content subject specific approach. Districts make a substantial investment in eMINTS teachers and it is recommended that the teachers selected for the program have a long-term commitment to their District.
