The AR AIMS Science LTF Infused Advanced Instructional Methods and Strategies training for science merges LTF (Laying the Foundation) training with Arkansas science standards-based content. The content and training developed by Arkansas teachers is supported by a
Google Site for each content listed below. LTF Infused Training includes complete units that are developed to be flexible while providing teachers with guidance as they implement
Arkansas standards and prepare for standardized testing. The workshop, along with the Google Site, is grade-level specific and includes teacher pacing guides, formative and summative assessments, presentations, labs, activities, and many other helpful teacher resources. Completion of the training gives access to the content Google Site for
three years. The Summer 2023 training will focus on both new activities and content from previous training and will be a complete immersion into hands-on science practices to help teachers fully engage in the 3-D model of the Arkansas science standards. All workshops are
18 hours in length.
