John P. Ellbogen Summer Institute (funded by an endowment from the Ellbogen Foundation)

Following the model of the Great Teachers Movement, our Summer Institute is based on the philosophy that well-facilitated shoptalk is one of the highest forms of professional development. No individual "expert" can match the collective knowledge, experience, wisdom, creativity, and genius of any group of teachers actively involved in their profession. The participants are the "experts" at the retreat.

Book Discussion

 

Research shows that the single factor most influencing student success in college is human relationships. This spring the ECTL is offering a series of book club sessions using Peter Felten’s and Leo Lambert’s, Relationship-Rich Education: How Human Connections Drive Success in College (2020). This book is referenced in UW’s strategic implementation plan.
