2011 Summer Institute for Teachers

2011 Summer Institute for Teachers in Design-Based Learning: Empowering educators and preparing students 
for a changing world. 

Dates: July 27-29 & August 1-2, 2011

The Summer Institute for Teachers is an intensive five-day interactive workshop based on a proven and award-winning 
methodology called Design-Based Learning. Design-Based Learning taps students’ natural creativity to develop higher-level 
thinking and enhance 
comprehension of the K-12 curriculum.
 
No matter what grade level or subject you teach, supplementing your current methods with Design-Based Learning can make 
a dramatic difference in your classroom. By motivating students to learn, this stimulating methodology can lead to improved 
attendance, fewer discipline problems and high scores on standardized tests.
 
This course is worth four semester units and is open to K-12 educators, principals, administrators, college instructors and 
after-school program directors and staff. Scholarships available.
