Eligibility and Application Information

Eligibility:

Our summer workshops are open to any K-12 teacher, media specialist, guidance counselor, or administrator at a public or private Florida school. 

Application Process:

Participants are chosen by competitive application, and limited to 35 per workshop. Your application must be electronically submitted.  The application deadline is March 14, 2012.

Successful applications will demonstrate each of the following:

  • how the workshop will benefit you professionally
  • how the workshop will benefit your students
  • how your personal and professional background will enrich discussions and collaborations with workshop colleagues.

Remember: Your application, including your essay, represents you to the selection committee.

Notification Process:

All applicants will receive notice of their acceptance status via e-mail by April 6, 2012.  Accepted applicants must accept or decline their workshop placement by 5:00 p.m. on April 20, 2012 or their place will be awarded to alternates. Note: you must supply FHC with an email address you check regularly in order to receive timely notification of your acceptance status.

Confirmed participants will receive detailed information about their workshop no later than 4 weeks in advance of the workshop start date.

Costs:

  • First-time Participant:
    After submission of a $50 nonrefundable registration fee, FHC will cover the costs for participants, including lodging, meals, and all books and materials.  Your $50 nonrefundable registration fee will be transferred to a one-year FHC membership.

  • Alumnus Registration:
    As a continued recognition of high-caliber teachers, FHC invites alumni of its summer workshops to attend subsequent workshops for a cost share fee of $600.  FHC will reserve five spaces per workshop for alumni, and applicants will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.

    To register as an alumnus for a summer workshop, simply complete the on-line application form by the deadline, making sure to choose “alumnus” from the participant description field. You will be notified of your successful placement in the workshop of your choice following the regular application deadline, at which time you will be asked to submit your $600 registration fee.
