interested in what has been described by many people as the "best
professional development workshop for teachers and administrators."

Additionally, now that the Boston Celtics have won a game, we are
announcing a new flavor of Summercore ("Summercore Online") for August
2010: see the http://www.summercore.com/online website. The essence of our
Summercore philosophy -- which will be part of Summercore Online -- is
that every teacher today has a role and responsibility in the
technological evolution/revolution going on. Most of our schools have more
than enough hardware and software but not enough computer-using teachers.
SummerCORE (conference on reforming education) focuses on the one
component not sold by Apple and Dell -- people -- with a goal of
increasing the humanware component in independent schools.
Read this quote by Connie Alexandre, MS French Teacher, Hockaday School,
Dallas TX:
"Summercore is a state of mind, as well as an unforgetable, hands-on
learning experience run by two stellar leaders. It requires embracing the
unknown with a willingness to risk, as well as enough endurance to
continue on even if one is have a "bad techie day." There is no doubt that
thanks to Steve and Lynne's patience, my fear of making a mistake has
diminished, but my eagerness to try and push myself technically has
increased. You will never again fear the computer if you have the
opportunity to graduate from a Summercore experience. Thank you so much,
Lynne and Steve. You are incredibly gifted. Your contributions will remain
long after you leave our campus!"
