Application
In applying to the Institute, teachers describe curriculum unit topics through which they plan to introduce material from the seminars in their own teaching. Public Schools principals verify that each applicant is proposing to work on a topic that is consistent with and significant for school curricula and district standards. After an application review and recommendations by teachers in the program’s leadership, the Institute Director makes final decisions about whom to accept as Fellows. These decisions take into account program objectives and the relation of proposed topics to seminar subjects and school courses, as well as such practical considerations as the size of each seminar.
In 2008 the Institute will accept as Fellows teachers of English, history, languages, art, science, and mathematics from New Haven’s public elementary, middle, and high schools. Applications must be obtained from, discussed with, and submitted to the Institute Representative or Contact for the applicant’s school. To learn more about participating in the Institute, speak with your school Representative or Contact.
Application deadline: January 29, 2008.
Notification concerning selection: February 25, 2008
