York School Department Seventh Annual Summer Institute June 25 - 28, 2007 At York High School

---

The York School Department extends a warm invitation to K-12 educators to participate in our Seventh Summer Institute, Monday, June 25 through Thursday June 28, 2007. Sixteen courses, ranging from technology integration to Skillful Teacher, will be offered during the four-day professional development workshop. Teachers and educational technicians who attend the Summer Institute earn either graduate course credit or Continuing Education Units that can be applied toward professional recertification. Courses are taught by York teachers, University of Southern Maine instructors and contracted instructors. Bringing summer professional development opportunities directly to the York staff permits ease of access and allows teachers to enjoy time for sustained learning in a relaxed and collegial environment.

Enrollment in the Summer Institute continues to expand each year, drawing educators from across the country who enroll in the courses offered. "By broadening the participation, we are able to offer a greater range of courses, and make it cost effective and engaging for teachers. York teachers thrive on the interaction with fellow educators from other school systems who share their interest in a particular subject," says Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Henry R. Scipione.
