Summer Institute
All instructors are required to attend Summer Institute. New teachers must attend their first year, after approval, so they are fully credentialed to teach. Returning (veteran) teachers must attend every third year (preferably more often) to maintain their credentials. Onboarding, refresher, and discipline specific professional development are delivered during Summer Institute.
