Summer Institute in Education (SIE) courses provide the unique opportunity of connecting certified teachers, graduate students and teacher candidates in classes together. Courses are offered in a multitude of formats (indoors, outdoors, online and face to face) and are relevant to current trends and needs in education. For educators, courses in the SIE program can be used towards certificates, diplomas, graduate programs, professional development and upgrading requirements.
