Institute combines resources of Montclair State University, Northwestern University, University of Texas, Rhode Island School of Design, and Vanderbilt University.
What do the best teachers do to captivate and motivate students, to help them reach unusually high levels of accomplishment? Participants in this highly interactive workshop will explore and use findings from a fifteen- year inquiry into the practices and insights of highly successful teachers, those people with phenomenal success in helping their students achieve remarkable learning results. The program will emphasize both improving one's teaching and developing ways to share insights with colleagues back home. Enrollment is limited. The workshop will begin at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 16, 2010, and end in the early afternoon on Friday, June 18, and will take place in the scenic suburbs of New York City, approximately 12 miles west of Manhattan.
