Summer Institute 2015
May 28th & 29th
Do you want to present at the Summer Institute this year?
We are in the planning stages of the district's third annual Summer Institute that will be held at the end of the school year on May 28th and 29th.
The purpose of our Summer Institute is to provide a quality professional learning experience with colleagues from across our district that will complement the professional learning taking place in all of our schools and will assist teachers in deepening the level of implementation of the Common Core GPS and other district-specific initiatives.
Please consider sharing a "best practice" with your colleagues at the Summer Institute. See more info and the link to the presenters' proposal form at the bottom of this page. There will be a stipend for your prep time. The deadline to submit a session proposal is March 28.
