Kansas Inservice Training System Summer Institute
Each June, KITS, through support from Kansas State Department of Education and Kansas Department of Health and Environment, sponsors a four-day Summer Institute. The goals of the Summer Institute include:
- providing the opportunity for professional development,
- providing two college credit hours (all participants must enroll and take for credit), and
- providing in-depth training on the focused topic for the upcoming
year.
Undergraduate credit is offered by KU. See instructions below.
Graduate credit is offered by:
- Emporia State University - Students must Pre-enroll through Lifelong
Learning, 877-332-4249 Code CD744XI (other questions may be directed
to Sophie Thayer)
- Fort Hays State University (contact Dorothy
Fulton, 785-628-5848, for
enrollment questions)
- Kansas State University (contact Bronwyn
Fees, 785-532-1476, for
enrollment questions)
- Pittsburg State University (contact Marti
York, 620-235-4965, for
enrollment questions)
- University of Kansas: Enrollment for those seeking graduate credit
will be done on site at the Summer Institute the first day. For those
participants who do not have a university degree and therefore require
undergraduate credit, contact Sherrie
Saathof, 785-864-0556, for
instructions.
- Wichita State University (contact Linda
Mitchell, 316-978-6367, for
enrollment questions)
The cost of tuition and enrollment fees varies by university and are the responsibility of the Summer Institute participant. Participants must be able to attend all four days. KITS provides lodging (in a residence hall or up to $150 will be reimbursed for hotel), meals and materials and a flat subsidy of $50 to cover travel. Those who choose the hotel option are not eligible for the $50 in travel as travel is allotted within the $150.
Online registration will be available as soon as possible. After March 31, remaining space will be opened up to graduate students and those outside our target audience.
Since your participation at Summer Institute is a considerable financial investment on the part of KITS, KSDE and KDHE, cancellation after May 1 requires that you return any Summer Institute materials provided, at your expense, and pay a late cancellation fee of $100.
KITS Summer Institute is open to all people working with children in Kansas. Priority is given to those professionals working with children, birth to eight, who have disabilities.
