What is the summer training Institute?
The summer training Institute takes place over a six-week period and includes a student teaching component and framework sessions. During the student teaching component, Fellows are paired with veteran teachers and receive hands-on training and coaching on effective teaching strategies. During the afternoon, Fellows attend framework sessions that are designed specifically for those with no previous education experience and for teaching in critical shortage content areas. 97% of 2008 Fellows felt that the Institute prepared them to be successful in their first year of teaching. Please see our Powerful Professional Development page for more information on the training component of our program.
