To celebrate good teaching. Enrollment is limited to 36 participants. Applications accepted on first come, first serve basis for those who have not already participated. More than a quarter century of application of the practices and procedures of the Great Teachers Movement have proven them to be infinitely fruitful. They derive from a tradition of honesty, simplicity and common sense and are unrelated to any institutional or commercial interests.
Participants can expect a positive and productive experience.
The agenda will develop out of the discussion of two brief papers written by the participants before they arrive. These papers feature a teaching innovation of which they are proud and a teaching problem for which they have not yet found a satisfactory solution. The schedule will be flexible. As the needs of the participants become apparent during small group discussions, specific agenda topics will evolve. While there will be a trained leader to guide the particpants through the process, there will be no hired experts on education on hand since the whole idea is to demonstrate the power of the collective wisdom, experience and creativity of the participants.
