Each Summer, partnering organizations in each region of the nation hold Project Citizen Summer Institutes. While this year's regional institute is not hosted in Arizona, the Foundation highly recommends that Arizona teachers apply to attend one of the Project Citizen Summer Institutes. The institute offers a balance of content and pedagogy. Its rigorous program allows teachers to work with national and local scholars from a variety of disciplines, but it also offers the same interactive lesson plans and mentoring offered in the Project Citizen Academy. As a culminating activity, teachers showcase the process they have learned in front of judges, just like their students would do.

Participants of the Institute receive the following:

• Air transportation
• Lodging and meals
• Classroom set of textbooks
• Supplemental resource books and lesson material
• 47 Professional Development Hours

This Institute is provided at NO COST to participating teachers through the Center for Civic Education.
