The Intel® Teach Program is a proven, worldwide professional development program that helps educators enhance 21st century learning through the effective use of technology.
With over 6 million teachers trained in 40 countries, and 17,000 in Australia, Intel Teach has been driving systemic change in teaching and learning since 1999. Teachers learn from other teachers how, when and where to incorporate technology into their lesson plans, with a focus on developing students' higher-order thinking skills. They experience new approaches to create assessment tools and align lessons with educational learning goals and state standards/syllabus outcomes.

Intel Teach uses a "Train the trainer" model to provide both face-to-face and online instruction to help teachers integrate technology into their classrooms. Teachers create lesson plans that can be immediately implemented and that meet state standards/syllabus outcomes.
Working with governments worldwide, Intel introduces the program in interested countries and communities, which are selected based on strength of their commitment to the program. Intel then works with an initial group of teachers to help them become Intel Teach trainers themselves. These trainers in turn are responsible for sharing their new skills with other teachers in their region.
To ensure that program curriculum maintains relevancy and reflects lessons learned from feedback and research, Intel regularly provides updated material to the Intel Teach trainers.
