 Summer Institute for Immersion Teachers

This immersion institute is specifically designed for one-way (foreign language) and two-way immersion educators who teach subject matter through the target language for 50–100% of the school day and promote continued development of English (amount of instructional time in English varies by grade level).

The institutes have been developed and are supported, in part, by the U.S. Department of Education's Title VI Language Resource Center program. The summer institutes are co-sponsored by the University of Minnesota's College of Education and Human Development and College of Liberal Arts.
