The Expeditions 2000 Summer Academy was
sponsored through Northeastern Illinois University/Chicago
Teachers' Center. Approximately 150 students participated
for several weeks in the project and then three of the
participating schools continued on through "Project
Exploration". Teachers prepared for the Summer
Academy by attending various Professional
Development Programs. The Expeditions 2000 Summer
Academy concluded with a closing day presentation of
various projects that the students completed either
through group participation or individual efforts. (See
Last Day Festivities) of which the student's web page
was one such project.
Three
areas of study for the Summer Academy were:
Archeology of Dinosaurs
Architecture in Chicago
A Trip down the Amazon

Expedition Alert - Fall of 2000

of the Week" went up on the web on Monday,
September 11th.
