| Summer Institutes: What? How? Why? Tuesday, April 4,
3:30-4:30 p.m.
Lee Arbetman, Street Law
Jan Miller, State Bar of Texas, Law-Related Education Program
Carolyn Pereira, Constitutional Rights Foundation/Chicago
This session will explore a variety of issues related to planning, executing, and
evaluating summer institutes for teachers. Some attention will be given to the subject
matters for institutes, but the primary focus will be on practical issues ("best
practices"). Topics to be addressed include how to recruit teachers on a national,
regional and/or statewide basis, strategies for balancing substantive content with
curriculum/classroom activities for the teachers, follow-up opportunities with the
teachers, and the role of new technologies in conducting institutes and in classroom
teaching. The three presenters will draw upon their substantial experience in organizing
and conducting institutes and workshops.
