The Pennsylvania Governor’s Institutes for Educators are part of a series of summer professional education programs designed to insure the creation of challenging learning environments in the Commonwealth’s public, private and non-public schools. Each of the institutes provides an intellectually challenging program of study that will enhance academic classrooms and thereby assist educators in improving their students’ performances and building capacity among educators.

The Governor’s Institutes for Educators are intensive, week-long professional development opportunities available for Pennsylvania educators during the summer. The programs are rich with opportunities to deepen subject area knowledge and include real-world experiences that help educators make the link to the Pennsylvania Academic Standards, reading and math education as a priority for all, classroom assessments and technology.
