PeopleTech - CUNY

In an effort to ensure that all students receive effective postsecondary education, the City University of New York was granted a unique opportunity to conduct research on strategies and techniques used to teach students with disabilities by the U.S. Department of Education.

We are quite excited about the upcoming PeopleTech summer institute for students with disabilities. We anticipate the course to fill up due to limited seating and high interest.

More information is available on our 2008 summer institute page. You can also find a link to the application on that page as well.

In an effort to ensure that PeopleTech have sufficient time to prepare effective teaching material and resources for students, we have established the following deadline to accept applications for the summer institute.

PeopleTech Summer Institute will run on Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. from June 16 - July 30, with a break the week of July 7. The application deadline is June 12.

Please encourage students to apply to reserve a seat.

We have developed a preliminary syllabus for the summer institute. It provides detailed information on the eight session program that will be offered evenings, from June 16 - July 30, 2008.

In fulfilling our mission, one of PeopleTech's significant objectives is to gain knowledge about the current base of experience among faculty regarding methods and techniques to teach students with disabilities. We have designed a survey that will provide us with information that we can use to tailor training and other project activities.

After interminable and unnecessary delays, we are finally ready to launch our web site. While the final domain issues are addressed, the addressed can be temporarily located at http://peopletech.ezfire.net. Be sure to contact us and let us knowhow the site is working.

We are absolutely thrilled to have this resource ready. It will make the teaching of math and science content to people with disabilities a different, more collaborative process. We hope that some features like the community blog and forums will not only allo

PeopleTech's mission leads us to aproach each task with a great sense of optimism and enthusiasm. If you are a person who is energetic, creative, dedicated, and looking to work in an independent environment, please consider applying for one of the opportunities that are listed below.
