EiE Teacher Educator Institute Strands
TEI workshops will be offered in a number of "strands." All TEI participants MUST begin with our introductory TEI Core program (generally offered for a half day before strand programming begins). The TEI Core offers a foundation for understanding the EiE program from the perspective of a professional development provider and engages participants in core professional development activities. Participation in the TEI Core is a prerequisite for enrolling in any of the strands. After attending the Core program, participants may enroll in any strand in any order.
