Stanford Summer Teaching Institute 2012
Join The Center to Support
Excellence in Teaching at Stanford University for a Summer of Learning
The Stanford Summer Teaching
Institute (SSTI) offers professional development courses in July - August of
2012 (from 3 days to 2 weeks). These courses have been specifically designed
for teachers and leaders to practice new methods and innovate with new learning
materials for classrooms and schools. In these exciting offerings for 2012, SSTI
participants can expect to deepen their understanding of both the content they
teach, as well as teaching itself, while connecting and re-connecting with
colleagues.
Taught by renowned Stanford faculty
and education practitioners from various departments across campus, including
English, earth sciences, chemistry, and art history, the CSET Summer Institutes
provide participating teachers and leaders with world-class instruction in
developing and applying new techniques and teaching practices aligned with the
Common Core Content Standards. Participants receive expert intellectual
feedback that is tailored specifically to their classroom contexts. CSET’s
emphasis on collaborative professionalism provides teachers and leaders the
opportunity to spread what they have learned, continue collaborating, and
continually improve learning opportunities for their students. Last year, we
had over 250 teachers and leaders participate and 95% of them ranked SSTI
as being their top professional development experiences.
