A Professional Development Project
at the University of Notre Dame
Spotlight: In a class by themselves
TEACHERS as SCHOLARS represents both a new vision of professional development and a vital collaboration between University of Notre Dame faculty and public and private school teachers.
The TEACHERS as SCHOLARS program at the University of Notre Dame is a professional development program for K-12 teachers in collaboration with School City of Mishawaka, South Bend Community School Corporation, Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend Catholic Schools, Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation, John Glenn School Corporation, and Union-North United School Corporation.
TAS offers content-based seminars, led by university faculty, that provide teachers the opportunity to discuss scholarly issues during the school day (9:00 AM - 3:30 PM), when they are most likely to benefit. The Notre Dame TAS program offers a number of seminars each semester in the humanities and social sciences. Teachers are encouraged to take seminars which interest them regardless of their grade level or content expertise. Welcome to the TEACHERS as SCHOLARS program!
