Calendar & Events

The Harvard Summer School is pleased to announce the addition of a three-day special seminar for teachers in the sciences. Based on the well-known "Chautauqua Seminars" model, there is no cost to participants other than a $50 registration fee. The course is taught by distinguished Harvard faculty and provides an opportunity for invited scholars to share new knowledge, concepts, and techniques directly with teachers in ways which are immediately beneficial to their teaching. The primary aim of this rejuvenating session is to enable teachers to keep their teaching current with respect to both content and pedagogy.

This course will be of interest to graduate students considering teaching, high school teachers, and college professors in the sciences.
