About Leadership Teacher - Professional Development Programs for Teachers
![]() Leadership Teacher I ![]() Leadership Teacher I (LT I)—Real-World Workshops How does the LT I program work? The monthly session days from November through April are hosted by various businesses that model real-world applications of the curriculum area featured for the day. These on-site session days combine keynote business speakers, panel discussions, tours of host businesses, hands-on activities, small group breakout sessions, simulations, and the opportunity to network with corporate leaders and employees from various industry sectors. Teacher participants are challenged to integrate real-world information into activities they can take back to their classrooms, schools, or school districts. Teachers also present a best practice during the year and share an educational article with the class that has inspired them or challenged them in some way. LT I Session Day Objectives
