Upcoming Programs

//////////////////////

Admissions Criteria

FTE programs are open to current high school and middle school teachers. Participants who submit applications, but are not active high school or middle school teachers will be placed on a waitlist and accepted if space should still be available prior to the start of the program.  Applications will be reviewed every five business days and updates on a participant’s application status will be provided via email.

If you are a current teacher, but have already attended the same program in the last two years, your registration will also be moved to a waitlist.

FTE will verify stated employment of all applicants prior to admission offers being sent. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at information@fte.org.
