PODCAST NUMBER 1

STANFORD SUMMER TEACHING INSTITUTE : Programm Overview
Pamela Grossman, Susan O'Hara and Cammy Huang - School of Education

Exercise : Objective résumé of the discussion in the podcast.


So Stanford Summer Teaching Institute is a course for teachers where they are taught to teach their classes with excellence. 
It happens in the CSET, which is the Center to Support Excellence in Teaching. 
The mission of CSET is to think about how to support excellent teaching and to think about what is the type of leadership that is needed at the school level and at the district level.

So SSTI is a opportunity for teachers to continue deepening their own understaning above the content they teach. Teachers come from all over the world and from any subject in order to attend this SSTI. So, it gives the course an incredible wealth of expertise. The SSTI can last 3 days to 2 weeks and it is a very unique experience to live for teachers. 

Indeed, teachers have the opportunity to enact and to rehearse and to plan for the use of the particular instructional strategy in the institute itself. 
And it is also a way to have feedbacks from others in order to improve themselves. 

 Futhermore, SSTI is a leadership for Learning Workshop and team-based classes.
Indeed, SSTI have two primary goals. The first one is to develop an intructional leadership team that has a shared vision of what instructional excellence is. 
The second goal is to really teach teams of instructional leaders about the sort of sources that they need to have in order to support excellent instruction. 
 So SSTI is a team-based course so teachers get the opportunity to work together. 

In another hand, SSTI is also continual support. The courses have follow-up opportunities throughout the year. 
They want the teachers to share what they learnt here so they could work with their collegues to continue the work they have already made.

So, finally, SSTI is long term. It provides the kind of ongoing nurishment, intellectual nurishment that teachers need to keep their classrooms vibrant and intellectually exciting places for kids.
