2007 Summer Institute

Sixty-seven teachers participated in our two-week Summer Institute from June 18-29, 2007. Activities included lectures from experts, field trips to research facilities, and workshops addressing key pedagogical strategies. Participants also learned about teacher research and began their projects for next year. See the slideshow for a recap of the two weeks.

Below are the resources from the Institute. The links correspond to email addresses, related websites, and files from their presentations. You will need Word, PowerPoint, or Adobe Reader to open the files. Please note that only linked resources are currently available. Audio and video files will be available at a later date.
