Are you interested in staying at or near the Cary Institute?

Yes; I understand that I will have to pay for accommodations myself ( on site accommodations range between $100-125 for the week).

Describe your educational background (including degrees earned, environmental courses taken, etc.):

What do you hope to gain from this summer professional development experience? Feel free to include topics or subjects you'd like to learn more about, experimental techniques, data analysis questions, etc.

I understand that by submitting this registration I commit to attending the 2010 Summer Institute at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. This entails committing to trying out activities or lessons with my students during the 2010-11 school year, and to communicating with Cary Institute educators about these initiatives. I also attest that I have discussed this program with my principal and have received support for participating in this professional development program from him/her.
