Registration:

Since space is limited, we will accept teachers on a first come, first served basis. The Registration Fee covers the cost of snacks, coffee, and materials. If this fee presents a problem for you, please contact us for scholarship information. Do not send money at this time; we will contact you to confirm your participation and will ask for the registration fee, housing fee, and other details once we know we have space to accommodate each registrant.

You will need to bring your own lunches (there is no cafeteria on site) and come prepared for outdoor work each day. Please indicate below whether you are interested in finding out more about housing options. We will contact you by April 15th (Early Bird) or June 15th (Regular Registration) to let you know about your participation in the Summer Institute.

Are you interested in staying at or near the Cary Institute?

Yes; I understand that I will have to pay for accommodations myself ( on site accommodations range between $150-200 for the week).

Describe your educational background (including degrees earned, environmental courses taken, etc.):

What do you hope to gain from this summer professional development experience? Feel free to include topics or subjects you'd like to learn more about, experimental techniques, data analysis questions, etc.

I understand that by submitting this registration I commit to attending the 2011 Summer Institute at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies from August 22-26, 2011. This entails committing to trying out activities or lessons with my students during the 2011-12 school year, and to communicating with Cary Institute educators about these initiatives. I also attest that I have discussed this program with my principal and have received support for participating in this professional development program from him/her.
