Klingenstein Summer Institute



If you are a faculty member in your 2nd-5th year of full-time teaching, please take a moment to explore the link below.  The Klingenstein Summer Institute has proven to be an invaluable experience, and we strongly encourage you to apply if interested.  The application deadline is January 15th, 2013; the 2013 Summer Institute will run from June 19 to July 2 on Lawrenceville's campus.

From their website:
Dedicated to affirming beginning teachers and encouraging their continued growth, the Klingenstein Summer Institute gathers 75 teachers from around the world for an exploration of teaching styles, educational philosophies, educational issues and personal development. Meeting for two weeks in late June, the Institute challenges these participants to embrace the complexities of the classroom and to explore the art of teaching and the delicate balance of subject mastery, judgment, intuition and creativity.
This intensive program offered in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, is especially designed to make teachers more effective leaders in the classroom and throughout the school. Participants come together in a variety of workshops, seminars, and collaborative exercises, and are guided by prominent education experts, talented Teachers College professors, and master teachers. Participants also attend a theater production in New York City and explore the neighboring town of Princeton.
The Klingenstein Summer Institute offers a full fellowship, including tuition for four graduate credits, as well as room and board. In addition to the high caliber of the academic program, meals prepared by prominent chefs are a highlight of the Institute.

  1. I participated in 2000. A really great program, especially for those of us who focused on our specific disciplines (rather than education) as undergraduates.
