Intel has dedicated sizeable resources to rigorous evaluation in order to ensure continuous, targeted improvement of the Intel® Teach Program. This research has not only enabled us to improve and refine our professional development efforts, but now also comprises a rich body of evidence that leaders implementing Intel Teach can use to demonstrate program impact and gain program support.

Jumpstarting 21st Century Learning
Teachers are the professionals who breathe life into their school district’s vision for 21st century learning. Research confirms that the quality of the teacher is the single largest influence on student achievement. The success of any change in a school or district depends on the effectiveness of the teachers in redesigning curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Intel designed the Intel® Teach program with this in mind.
