| TEACHERS as SCHOLARS
(TAS) offers K-12 teachers content-based, two or three-day seminars
led by university faculty. The seminars provide teachers the opportunity
to discuss a text, topic or issue when they are most likely to benefit
- during the school day.
TAS offers seminars in the humanities, arts and sciences
as well as interdisciplinary topics and teachers are encouraged to
take seminars which interest them regardless of their grade level
or content expertise. Annually the program offers 70 seminars of one to three days in length for the 1,000 teachers participating from our 52 member schools and school districts. The seminars are
led by faculty from Harvard, Boston University, MIT, Brandeis, Simmons
College, Tufts University, the University of Massachusetts (Boston),
Berklee School of Music, Boston College, and Wheelock College. Seminars
are held at Wellesley College, Brandeis University,
Tufts, and MIT. |
