Great Books Foundation

Summer 2010 Information Coming Soon

The Great Books Foundation will return to St. John's College to conduct a three-day professional development institute for approximately 30 middle and high school teachers from across the country. In this workshop, teachers will learn how to use Shared Inquiry, a method developed by the Foundation for conducting classroom discussions of literature. GBF and St. John's College have a relationship dating back to 2001 and St. John's is very excited to welcome this group back for its second consecutive summer program.
