Implementing an Institute

An applicant to participate in the Yale National Initiative and become a member of the League of Teachers Institutes during a multi-year Implementation must have arranged – or must be arranging – funding from the school district(s) and the university and, if necessary, supplemental funding from a Federal program, a national funder, or one or more local funders. The institution(s) of higher education and the school district(s) must be committed to provide meaningful ongoing financial support.

At least half of the necessary core direct costs must be provided by the applicant institution and the school district partner(s). Full indirect, overhead, or facilities and administration costs must be contributed as cost sharing. Cost sharing should either begin at a high level or steadily increase during the Implementation Phase so that there is a trend toward institutionalizing the costs of the Teachers Institute.
