A new slate of thought-provoking Yale Summer Intensive Seminars for teachers was announced during the Yale National Initiative’s Annual Conference in October in New Haven, CT. Yale National Seminars have the twin purposes of immersing public school teachers from across the country in the Institute approach, while affording them an opportunity to increase their preparation and develop new curricula in a subject they teach, working closely with Yale faculty seminar leaders. Each year Charlotte Teachers Institute accepts applications from its most recent cohort of CTI Fellows and chooses about six Fellows to represent CTI as Yale National Fellows. These National Fellows travel to New Haven to collaborate with their colleagues from across the U.S., for two weeks in July and for two long weekends in spring and fall.
