New York State Great Teachers Seminar
THE SEMINAR
The New York State Great Teachers Seminar is an energizing and relaxing summer retreat. It brings teachers together to explore teaching and learning innovations and solutions to problems. In spite of what the name might suggest, the seminar is not so much a gathering of teachers who are already great, as it is a group of dedicated educators in search of the great teacher within themselves. The seminar is based on the principle that educators learn best from each other. Participants prepare for the seminar by identifying one of their own successes or innovations as well as an unresolved problem they face in their work with students. Seminar staff lead discussions centered on the special interests and topics identified by the participants.
