Spring and Summer Content Institutes 2002

March, 2002

Dear Educators:

We are pleased to announce free graduate level institutes designed to increase the content knowledge of Massachusetts' educators.

Sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in partnership with school districts, educational collaboratives, charter schools, colleges and universities, cultural institutions, and professional associations, these content institutes are designed to support local districts' efforts to raise the achievement of students. This year many of our institutes have added the use of instructional technology as a tool to enhance the learning of the content.

The content institutes are funded through Federal Goals 2000, special education, and instructional technology education grants to school districts. I hope you will consider participating in these institutes.

Sincerely,

David P. Driscoll
Commissioner of Education
