Overview? As part of our
business, we are now creating curriculum web pages for schools. These pages are
custom-designed for you corresponding to specific topics in your curriculum. We
post the pages for you so that you and/or your students can easily access them,
e.g. www.summercore.com/flhs. You or a programmer at your school can then take
the source code and post onto your own schoolıs web pages if desired.
Rationale? searching the web and finding first-rate links for 10 different topics
in a specific class takes time and lots of know-how. Once the links are found,
bookmarking them is far less useful than having them easily available on the web
so that a variety of of students and teachers can access from multiple computers
at school or at home. The Value? example: A teacher from French Lick High
School lists 10 specific novels from 10 books and sends us the e-mail request. We
create the web page, post it on www.summercore.com/flhs within a few days.

Unlike some conferences, we pride ourselves on individual attention! We keep each
session under 28 and strive to answer all questions. Our team of instructors and
student helpers all contribute to our national reputation!
What is the Program?
Founded in '82, The Original Teaching Company is the creation of
Steve Bergen and Lynne Schalman. In training teachers, we pride ourselves first
on being teachers! From 75-80, Lynne and Steve were heads of the English and Math
departments at Wooster School. From 87-94, Steve was Computer Coordinator at
Concord Academy.
From 94-2002, Steve was Computer Coordinator at
Noble and Greenough School, moving that school from the dark ages to being one of the leading schools
for technology in the country.
In 2002, Steve joined The Chapin School as CIO. In 2007, Steve decided to take
his daughter's challenge and took a job
in Harlem as CIO of The Children's Storefront.
