Support for Teachers in the Field
Lehigh provides, without charge, high quality professional support for teachers in the field. While Lehigh, as a private institution, cannot provide free support to all teachers in the area, it does provide such ongoing support for its own graduates and for teachers and professional staff at its local integrated professional development (IPDS) partner schools.
Our post-graduation professional support for teacher graduates has four components: (1) online resources, (2) face-to-face annual sessions, (3) professional advancement credits and (4) email support and follow up surveys.
Please explore our website to learn more about each opportunity.
