Inspired Teaching Institute
This intensive, year-long professional development program challenges middle and high school teachers of all academic subjects to build student achievement and meet standards (including Common Core) in creative and truly effective ways. The course rejuvenates teachers while strengthening their abilities to meet the challenges of teaching.

During the course, teachers are engaged in a 100% participatory process. Teachers are active and on their feet as they delve into a rigorous examination of the teaching-learning process. They emerge with new and more effective strategies for reaching every student. Teachers learn strategies for motivating students and engaging them in thoughtful analysis of academic material—ensuring that meaningful learning takes place. Program results show an increase in student participation, interest, and critical and analytical thinking.

Educators enrolled in the Inspired Teaching Institute for Secondary Teachers are expected to participate fully in all facets of the program. This includes attendance every day of the summer session and for all of the Practicum classes held during the 2011-2012 school year.
