Summer Institute is structured so that the mornings will be spent engaging the eight principles of the SOT&L listed above, and the afternoons will be spent in both individual and collaborative work on Scholar projects. Some of the Scholars will have the opportunity to present their nascent projects; all of the Scholars will have the opportunity to engage in and practice peer review.

The Wisconsin Teaching Scholars Program has three over-arching goals:

1. To provide Scholars with the opportunity to develop their individual projects;
   
2. To enable Scholars to make themselves available as resources and to collaborate with others; and
   
3. To advance the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Each of these goals will be put into practice throughout Summer Institute.
