Hoewisch, Allison
Professional Educator, v20 n3 p37-55 Sum 1998
Describes a summer institute, created through an urban university and urban Professional Development School partnership, that benefited second through fifth-grade students, but most notably influenced the professional development of their teachers. Analysis of teachers' journals indicate that teachers perceived their involvement in the supportive, risk-free opportunity to experiment as increasing their levels of professional development. (SM)
