Teaching CWU College in the High School

Summer Institute 2021
For new and veteran teachers
Summer Institute will again be offered as an online professional development opportunity.
All teachers must attend a session where their academic liaison will be in attendance. Veteran teachers who have not participated for three years are encouraged to attend a session, and meet with their liaison, and keep up their credentials. Those who last attended in 2018 will receive an email notification.

Summer Institute will be scheduled to occur four times over the summer.
Not ALL liaisons are available at all four sessions.
  • June 22
  • June 24

  • August 11

This one-day learning session is free of cost, and any of our teachers may attend if they want.

We want to hear from you
CWU High School Partnerships is asking for your feedback.
Please take a few minutes to respond to the Spring 2021 survey for our teacher partners, so that we can be informed about your views of our program.

Are we fulfilling our mission?
... to provide high school students with rigorous and rewarding low-cost, dual credit opportunities that will allow students to graduate from high school and earn college credit at the same time, overcome barriers to participating in higher education, and get an early start on their long term academic and career goals.

Please take the survey, linked below, and located on our Instructor Participation Guide page.
Wanted: New Teachers
Encourage your colleagues to join as a CWU College in the High School Instructor
Expanding the dual credit class offerings at schools helps high school students get ahead on their college and career goals.
Keep in mind, teachers at your school who are not already CWU partners may not be sure how to connect. Please share these links:

How are you holding up?
Here's a Faculty Focus article on how to be a little selfish, and why that's good for you. Grab a cup of coffee or something, and read it.
Don't forget your Roster!
If you are sending registrations for 3rd Trimester or Quarter, or Block 4, (or planning for next fall) please include your class roster.
This document follows these best practices:
  • Only lists the students in your class that are registering for CWU credit.
  • If teaching the same CWU class in more than one high school class period, all names should be on one list.
  • Student names are alphabetized by last name.
  • Include in the print view:
  1. Teacher name (Tom Jefferson)
  2. School (Potomac River HS)
  3. Term (Spring 1774)
  4. Subject (POSC 210 American Politics)
  5. All enrollee names
Introductory video and information sessions
While things are still remote, it's important to help your students understand the opportunities available.
You can share this brief video with your families, and follow up with a Q&A session with us if you like. Watch "Introduction to CWU College in the High School" video.
CWU College in the High School is happy to hold informational meetings via Zoom.
Perhaps your class, your student body, or your staff would like an opportunity to ask questions and chat live, with our CiHS staff.
Please contact your coordinator to set up a time, and we will be flexible for your schedule.

Eastern Washington schools or districts, please contact Zane Morrison.
Western Washington schools or districts, please contact Sarah Maes.
