TEaM Expansion
Louisiana Tech University offers both Mentor Teacher and Content Leader training through all online graduate coursework. The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) has approved both pathways in June 2019.
We have enhanced the current state training with our TEaM Model mentor training curriculum as well as innovative technology tools from our HUB center. Our program is completely online in two graduate 3-hour semester hour courses. These hours can be applied to our Educational Leadership graduate program or be used as +30 hours. Faculty offer optional Zoom meetings to help you complete the tasks and are available face-to-face on campus.

Cost
The estimated cost per teacher for two graduate courses would be approximately $2,650.00. ( That includes the cost for two 3-semester hour graduate courses as well as the $40 application fee).
We will work diligently to apply scholarships where applicable, but this cannot be guaranteed until we receive new guidelines for the 2020-2021 academic year. We recommend estimating the $2,650.00 cost per participant when applying in the LDOE superapp.
NOTE: Districts will be responsible for all Bloomboard costs and coordinate billing through them. Names will be submitted in early weeks of
