Summer Teachers' Institute

Use your summer to explore innovative ideas, catch up on new professional development opportunities, and earn graduate credit. Join your colleagues for stimulating graduate courses - most in an intensive, one-week format - taught by highly experienced teachers on Goucher College's beautiful campus just north of Baltimore. The Teachers' Institute at Goucher College offers graduate-level courses for teachers, supervisors, support personnel, school nurses, and administrators.

Classes begin June 21. Each course will run from 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
