Teacher Education: Teacher Training Institute

"P" Credits | Teacher Training Institute

Now in its 4th year, the Institute is designed so that educators and CERC faculty work together on inquiry based education and experiential learning at field sites while earning credits in conservation biology in human ecology. The summer courses are a combination of lectures, field work, labs, and curriculum development seminars.

Who May Attend?
Public and private school educators teaching all content areas may attend as well as those from graduate schools of education.  

Location
The Institute takes place at a field site in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic where we are supported by the Punta Cana Ecological Foundation http://www.puntacana.org/

Dates
The Institute will be held from July 7th-July 23rd.
Please allow July 6th and July 24th as travel days.

Credits
Participants are eligible to receive six graduate credits from Columbia that meet New York State Certification requirements.
For teachers from the New York City public education system, these credits can be applied to a master's degree or to the "30 points above" for position and salary increase.
For those that wish to participate on a non-credit basis, you may do so and will receive a Certificate
of Completion at the end of the Institute.
