With the first edition complete, the secondary component intensified its efforts in the area of teacher development. For two weeks each institute brought together 25 university educators, secondary supervisors, and teachers in leadership positions chosen from a nationwide pool of applicants. To facilitate the transmission of new ideas to teachers across the country, while at the University of Chicago participants developed plans for further dissemination tailored to the particular situation in their own districts.
Participants register for an entire day devoted to one of the texts.
