Click on titles above for information about each institute. Application instructions and an application form that can be used for either or both institutes is available here. General information about the summer institute program is provided below, and includes materials from past institutes similar to those planned for this summer.

A series of two-week institutes offered during the summer that bring together Bryn Mawr faculty and precollege teachers. Each Institute meets at Bryn Mawr College five days a week from 9 am to 4 pm. Bryn Mawr and Haverford faculty and K-12 educators share perspectives on how to enhance science and mathematics education throughout the curriculum and at all levels of the educational enterprise. Among the major themes of the Institutes are

• the theory and practice of a discovery-based approach to education
• bridging the disciplinary gap between science/mathematics and other areas of the curriculum
• valuing and making use of classroom diversity
• acquiring skill in and exploring productive use of information technology
• developing effective collaborations between K-12 and college/university educators

Institute participants receive a stipend and development grant to implement and report on curriculum changes resulting from the Institute experience. Interested teachers may apply to one or more Institutes. Additional information about particular institutes is available from the links above.
