COLLINS INSTITUTES
Our institutes offer one and
two day professional development sessions for users of the
Collins Writing Program. Collins Institutes cover a wide range
of topics, grade levels and subjects, are available year round
and provide an attractive alternative to week long summer
courses. Topics were chosen to have the most impact on student
achievement. Institutes are adapted to meet the needs of staff
professionals within a department, such as mathematics, or other
specialized groups like vocational and technical educators. We
are constantly developing new institutes. If your need is not
addressed by the offerings below, we would be happy to discuss
creating a new institute with you.
WHY OFFER A COLLINS
INSTITUTE? TO EARN FREE TRAINING!
We
recognize that school budgets are tight and that ongoing
professional development is critical to improving teaching and
learning. That's why we've created a way for you to earn FREE
training for your district or school. If you are willing to host
an Institute and open the session up to colleagues from other
schools or districts -- you'll receive a $100 credit for each
outside person who attends.
