Exercise : Make a Résumé of the podcast.


The Stanford Summer Teaching Institute is “a collection of 4-, 5-, and 8-day courses” focused on the development of effective instructional practices for a variety of content areas and grade levels. A lot of teachers from around university come to make those courses.

This short training period is done within the Center to Support Excellence in Teaching (CSET)


At the beginning of this podcast, it says that in the CSET they now having a good teacher for three years. It suppose to having a weak teacher for those 3 years and makes the difference at 50% higher points in achievement, it makes difference being the top of the class or being the bottom of the class.

Stanford Summer Teaching Institute (SSTI) is an opportunity for teachers to continue deepening their own understanding about the content of their own teach as well as teaching itself.


The SSTI has two primary goals

° One is “to develop an instructionnal leadership team that has a shared vision of what instructionnal excellence is in their school”.

° The second is “to teach teams of instructionnal leaders about the sort of ressources that they need to have and order to support excellent instruction at their schools”.


The principal difference between the CSET and the other school is that those courses are base on teams.

To conclude the courses of the Stanford Summer Teaching Institute are actually like doors that can be open, within which may have to learn how to teach in a dynamic and interresting way for students and also for teachers, all materials that may have taught in schools. To do this, teachers learn to use effectively the tools they have to fascinate their students as possible while making effective learning, original and exciting for kids.
