Several commercial videos, as well as videotapes of ESIP teachers' workshops, are also available for check-out. The project encourages visits among teachers and provides sub-pay so teachers can see their colleagues at work. Participants are regularly asked to offer workshops at local, regional, and national conferences. ESIP facilitates professional contacts and assists in proposal writing. Because of the tremendous commitment expected of ESIP teachers, participants receive stipends for all ESIP meetings they attend plus two additional days of research and workshop preparation.
Teachers make a substantial time commitment when joining the project.
After completing the program, each participant is expected to take part in the project's dissemination efforts. There are countless opportunities to present workshops at local in-service programs, state meetings, and national conferences. The ESIP Summer Institute meets for 13 days during the first summer. Mornings consist of speakers, panels, and discussions. A variety of teacher-led workshops are offered each afternoon.
