This Institute is summer camp for teachers, and you’ll walk away with strategies you can use in the classroom on the first day of school. Nyla Munk, Forest View Elementary This class was very uplifting and motivational. The speakers emphasized the importance of relationships between teachers and students. Most of the speakers seemed to truly understand. The challenges teachers face in today’s educational system. The format of the class was a relaxed atmosphere that emphasized camaraderie between staff members from the same districts and brought teachers together from various districts. Catherine Deschenes, Howell High School. Each June the Summer Institute provides many educators with invigorating blend of inspiration, relaxation and current relevant professional development. Spending a week in this environment is a great way to finish a school year and to begin summer. I’d recommend SI to any educator. Gary Kinzer, Principal, Hiawatha Elementary School. The Summer Institute offered a wealth of speakers with useful information and concrete ideas which, when put into action will insure student success. Valerie Green, Elmhurst /Bingham/Gier Park, Lansing. Teachers need to be charged-up not discharged. They need to be built-up not worn down. SI classes will do this. Walk away with a smile, not a frown. Darren Mort, Montrose School. Although, this is my 4th time taking this class, I always leave with new tools in my educator’ toolbox. I am so excited about Christian Moore that I will plan to attend his training in September! Thanks! Jewell Muller-Gornick, Wilshire Early Childhood Center. This course is fantastic. It is quick to the point and worthwhile. A great opportunity to get 3 credits at a good price and get needed information. Would recommend this class overwhelmingly. Valerie Duncan, Elmhurst Elementary. Although I was happy about the course being convenient and over in one week, I hadn’t expected the rejuvenation I got from listening to the speakers. Lynn Garrett. The SI (Summer Institute) provides current info with interesting presentations. It is motivational, practical, relaxed and rejuvenating. A great way to prepare yourself to go back into the classroom as a better teacher and person. Lynette Pemble, Discovery Elementary Thank you for saving me time, travel and money. But more importantly, thank you for helping me revive after a stressful spring with inspiring teachers, daily walks and time to plan for next year. Sally Heisler, Bennett Woods Elementary. Summer Institute is not only a great way to earn credits, but also provides a place where you can problem solve, grow and laugh with your peers. The outstanding speakers combine with relevant breakout sessions in a relaxed environment are a winning combination. Lori Briegel, Woodcreek Magnet School Summer Institute is fantastic. I got more out of this weeklong course than I might have gained in a regular semester-long course for a fraction of the price. Dick really organized a phenomenal, inspiring program, I’ll certainly come back again and again. Valerie Blumerich, Lyons Elementary. I was so impressed with the Summer Institute within the first hour of my first day during my first time attending, that I knew I wanted to attend again next year! Larisa Ballard, Dwight Rich Middle School. This class is just what I needed to regroup, get useful information to use in the classroom and “fire up” for the next school year. I had lots of fun while participating in wellness activities and learning from some experienced and well know speakers in the educational field. The speakers were amazing! Cynthia Rea, Highlander Way Middle School. Want to be respected with reasonable (not superfluous) expectations on professional development in a variety of approaches (not a single crammed class)? Take Dick Comer’s Summer Institute! B. Nabozny, T.A. Wilson Academy, Jackson, Michigan. Wow! The Summer Institute was fabulous! I was energized with emotionally and physically. I experienced many moments of laughter, a few tears and met new friends. Awesome! . I really enjoyed the energizing speakers after a long school year. It was great to feel excited about my profession. I really felt like I could apply a lot of the information I learned here to my classroom. Emily Anderson, St. Paul Lutheran School, Ann Arbor.
