I like the idea proposed by one of the teachers from her experience of having different school levels (high and jr. high school) students work together through their presentations. The younger students not only get insight from the older students, these older students become big brothers/ big sisters and act as role models to the younger students and tutors, reinforcing what they have learned thus far by helping to teach it to someone else.
If the Summer Institute can include k-12 teachers and become effective in their work, more schools can include students from k-16 to work together even if it is simply for community service projects, educational praxis’, or environmental/health education courses.
