Academic Resources

Teachers will receive a wealth of resources.  In addition to the books listed, participants will also receive a “Stony Reading Resource Travel Drive” to enhance their overall educational experience.  Using the “Stony…” Daily Institute Agenda as a guide, note that some readings are required and others are suggested.  Please make an effort to get as much of the reading done as possible as that will help to enhance your overall experience.  You may want to load the “Reader” on to your laptop.  Internet access is available at the hotel and you will need to bring Ethernet cords in order to connect to the Internet.
