Confratute 2009

The summer institute on enrichment learning and teaching at the University of Connecticut

Sponsors:
Neag Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development and the University of Connecticut

July 13-24, 2009

Institue Directors:

Joseph S. Renzulli

Sally M. Reis

This year we celebrated the 31st year of our annual summer Confratute program. When Confratute first began, it was conceived as a combination of the best aspects of a Conference, and an institute with a good deal of fraternity blended within. It has remained the leading professional development program on enrichment learning and teaching in the world. Our participants come from throughout the United States and around the world to teach and learn about gifted education, talent development, and total school improvement. Confratute can be taken for academic graduate credit or for Continuing Education Units that vary from state to state.

Confratute features presentations by the nation's best-known leaders in gifted education, talent development, thinking skills, and creativity. Over the years it has grown in size and diversity as a unique experience in the educational community. Over 80 week-long strands focus on all aspects of differentiated instruction and enrichment learning and teaching. It is our belief that all students can benefit from high-end learning opportunities and learning is maximized when we consider each student's academic strength areas, interests, learning styles, and preferred modes of expression. We strive to accommodate these differences in a variety of settings.

Everyone who teaches at Confratute is hand picked from among the very best professionals who spend the majority of their time directly involved with schools, teachers, and kids. Our focus on practical skills, the application of knowledge and thinking skills to relevant student interests and experiences, and personalizing the learning process has resulted in nothing short of superlative evaluations. Our staff creates an informal learning environment where participants can interact casually with the staff, network with colleagues, share similar concerns, and discuss hopes and dreams about making schools enjoyable and exciting places for talent development.
