  8. Comments from 2008 Summer Institute participants: “The summer institute was one of the best classes I have taken. I love the socio-linguistic focus, the higher level discussions, the respect shown by the professors to the students and the general appreciation for how difficult the work can be in the schools today”.

  9. Comments from 2008 Summer Institute participants: • “It would be so valuable for every teacher in our schools to have the information from this course!” • “The opening activity, the presentations, and the discussions were all incredibly helpful. The real classroom application ideas were key.”

  10. Comments from 2008 Summer Institute participants: • “It was wonderful and informative. Rebecca was a fantastic, knowledgeable teacher.” • “For me, one of the main highlights was developing an understanding of the language levels and strategies for working with all levels in the math classroom and learning strategies for working with families of ELL students.”
