Over the next two weeks, A+ College Ready and AdvanceKentucky – two of our partner organizations – are sending hundreds of Pre-AP and AP teachers to Laying the Foundation Training in both Alabama and Kentucky. Known for its unique and rigorous teacher-to-teacher training, LTF Training will help ensure that teachers in these states have the ability and knowledge to deliver material effectively to the students, thus ensuring student success.

“School administrators and teachers understand that rigor in the classroom must be elevated to help students succeed, particularly to meet the higher state standards,” explained Mary Boehm, A+ College Ready President. “Therefore districts, the State Department of Education and the private sector are helping fund this training for teachers.”

Anthony Mires, LTF State Director in Kentucky is also looking forward to the training opportunity. “Having this connection with National Math and Science and LTF and having so many teachers already exposed to the training really puts Kentucky in a unique position to not just adopt the standards but to be out in front of the changes that are coming," he said.

The program is growing rapidly in both states (as it is in several other states across the nation). We here at LTF are excited for all of the teachers and trainers attending these trainings, and we wish them the best of luck!
