You're invited to the 2010 Summer Institute for Teachers, a two-day seminar aimed at developing your classroom skills, held for teachers from across the Chicago-metro area!

Over the years, the Chicago Humanities Festival has presented Summer Institutes in history, urban planning, poetry and creative writing. This year we're stepping into new territory, at the request of many of our participating teachers: online research.

CHF is pleased to present a two-day institute designed and facilitated by DePaul University research librarian and adjunct faculty
Paula Dempsey

Topics to be covered include:
  • how knowledge is organized
  • research as a process
  • deep reading vs. skimming and their connection to research
  • discerning a credible online resource
  • keeping track of your resources
  • free vs. paid resources
  • plagiarism
Over the course of the two days, SIT participants will work in small groups to explore these questions and others by tackling a single research topic through multiple lenses.

DATES & LOCATION
Tuesday & Wednesday, July 27 & 28; 10 a.m. -  4 p.m.
DePaul Conference Center,
1 E. Jackson St. 8th Floor, Chicago

Lunch is included. 10 CPDU credits are available.

COST
This seminar is FREE!
A $50 deposit is required to reserve your place. The deposit will be refunded upon your completion of SIT.
