Summer Institute for Secondary School
Teachers
The
Summer Institute is especially designed to
enhance substantive expertise and teaching skills for high school social
studies teachers. Through a competitive process, each year approximately
25 teachers are selected from across the U.S. to travel to Washington,
D.C. for a week-long seminar during the summer. Seminar topics explore
the sources and responses to international conflict, and demonstrate
teaching strategies that reflect the best current practice in the field.
Teachers selected to participate in the Summer Institute
are provided with housing and a travel stipend by the U.S. Institute of
Peace.
The next Summer Institute is scheduled for July 31–August 5, 2005.
