What is the PT3 Initiative?
PT3 is the acronym for the U.S. Department of Education’s Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology grant program. USM is a recipient of one of these three-year grants that targets innovative, systemic changes to teacher preparation programs that will ensure new teachers are well-prepared to use the tools of technology to support teaching and learning in their future classrooms.
