Summer School for Teachers


Ahh. Summer just around the corner.  You can almost see it. 

Summer is a time when teachers recuperate and  recover from the previous year.  It's also a time when they begin the process of rejuvenating and re-energizing for the upcoming year.  Teachers look forward to  the summer for many reasons.  One of the reasons they enjoy summer so much they get to take some time and learn for themselves.

Here is a list resources to help you learn over the summer.

Coursera is an education platform that partners with top universities and organizations worldwide, to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free.

Over 30,000 hours of free audio & video lectures, await you now.

MIT Open CourseWare  MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT course content. OCW is open and available to the world and is a permanent MIT activity.
