Summer Institute Description/Expectations

The Alaska Science Consortium offers an intensive two-week Summer Institute followed by a mandatory distance delivered follow-up course in the fall. Grade level sessions assure attention to developmental considerations and content needs. Led by ASC master teachers, the Institute blends science content taught by scientists, with science instructional strategies.

The mandatory distance delivered follow-up in the fall stresses reflective practice, job-embedded professional development, and mentoring.

Participants are required to earn university credit for both the Summer Institute and the mandatory distance delivered follow-up course in the fall.

During the Summer Institute, participants are expected to fully immerse themselves and work diligently at expanding their science teaching abilities. Class runs from 8:00 to 5:00, five days a week, and will include occasional evening sessions and class-related trips.

For further information about the Summer Institute and mandatory distance-delivered follow-up course in the fall, contact Cheryl Cooper, ASC Treasurer by
