As part of the summer activities, each participant selected for the Summer School Teacher Program will be assigned to a small team that will focus on the third goal of the program: becoming resources to colleagues and the profession. During the afternoon working time, participants will focus on the creation of a professional development module related to the Common Core State Standards and what research tells us about best practice while bringing in their own classroom experience and expertise. Groups will be assigned based on participant experience and interest as well as information from teachers and districts around the country with regards to what learning is needed by the profession.
