The 2008 Summer Institute, July 10 - August 1, focuses on
how to develop and teach lessons, units, and courses
across the curriculum that infuse critical and creative
thinking skills and
important habits of mind into content instruction.
Such curricular and instructional changes enhance deep
content understanding, improve thinking, and elevate test
performance. There will be a special emphasis in the 2008
institute on how to enhance reading and writing across the
curriculum through thinking-based learning, and there will
be a special pre-conference seminar on thinking, emotions,
and the will.
