Overview

What do the best teachers do to captivate and motivate students, to help
them reach unusually high levels of accomplishment? Participants in this
highly interactive institute will explore and use findings from a
fifteen-year inquiry into the practices and insights of highly
successful teachers, those people with phenomenal success in helping
their students achieve remarkable learning results. The program will
emphasize both improving one's teaching and developing ways to share
insights with colleagues back home. Enrollment is limited. The workshop
will begin at 10 am on Wednesday, June 20, 2012, and end in the early
afternoon on Friday, June 22, 2012, and will take place in the scenic
suburbs of New York City, approximately 12 miles west of Manhattan.

Enrollment Limited:  Program has filled rapidly in past years.  Early
Bird Enrollment Deadline: March 15, 2012.
