Application Sessions

Participants

Throughout the week, there will be daily sessions set aside for you to meet with a peer facilitator to debrief the day’s content and strategies and to help brainstorm ways to design curricula for your classroom based on the day’s experiences. The peer will reinforce teaching strategies presented during the day and offer lessons and strategies successfully used with students in the classroom.

Peer facilitators are past participants of the Institute who have returned to help provide you guidance and support. We make every effort to choose someone who will best fit with your group; e.g., the peer facilitators for a middle and high school program week will be teachers in a middle or high school. They will act as a liaison between the Institute staff and you, participate in all activities and lessons during the week, provide directions on how to get to places within the Historic Area, and offer suggestions for good teaching materials when visiting the gift shops.
