A. A goal of eMINTS National Center programs is the development of a professional learning community within a school leading to school-wide renewal and improvement. Development of a professional learning community within a school requires the involvement, approval and buy-in of a critical mass of the teaching staff and significant administrative support. The participation of isolated teachers in eMINTS PD is counter-productive to this goal. A minimum of two teachers per school building with school- or district-level administrative approval is required for initial eMINTS implementation.
