Summer Portfolio Institute 2008

Dear Parents:

Your child is invited to participate in our "You've Got the Write One" Summer Portfolio Institute to be held July 14-18 at the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Louisville. The summer institute, led by U of L professors Dr. E. Todd Brown and Dr. Karen Karp, will be an enrichment program for students entering grades 4-8, focusing on writing, mathematics and technology. Teams of practicing teachers and teacher education students will work with small groups of children to complete several instructional projects.

Students will meet daily, from 9:00 am, until 2:45 pm at the College of Education and Human Development. Besides participating in writing, mathematics and technology learning activities, students will enjoy snacks and recreation with one another. We will provide a variety of instructional materials for our institute participants, as well as T-shirts and copies of their work. However, we ask that you provide PROMPT morning and afternoon transportation and a sack lunch. The fee for the institute is $80.00. A limited number of scholarships will be available to those in financial need. Scholarship applicants MUST provide proof of assistance such as income tax return, AFDC, food stamp card, or supplemental security income card.

To enroll your child, please complete and return the enclosed application forms immediately (including the photo release).

No applications will be accepted without a check. Make the check payable to University of Louisville. This fee is non-refundable. Mail completed registration form, completed video release form and check to:
