>Teach for Spring HSSP 2012! Spring HSSP is a long-term program in 
>the spring during which middle and high school students can come 
>take up to three classes on a variety of subjects. As a teacher, you 
>get to design and teach an 8-class course on absolutely anything 
>(academic or not). Previous classes have been anything from "Vision 
>and Computational Photography" to "How to Question Everything and 
>Argue with Everybody".
>
>Spring HSSP runs each Saturday from Feb 18 to Apr 14 (skipping Mar 
>10). Each class session will be 1-2 hours. The deadline for applying 
>is Jan 11. You can apply and find more information online at 
><<http://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP>http://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP>, or 
>email us at <mailto:spring-hssp at mit.edu>spring-hssp at mit.edu.
>
>If you're looking for a shorter time commitment, you can also teach 
>a one-day class for ESPrinkler or Lecture Series. ESPrinkler is like 
>a mini-Splash: a selection of one-time short classes that the 
>students can choose from. Instead of enrolling a normal eight-week 
>class for one of their time-blocks, students can instead choose 
>ESPrinkler, and pick something different every week. In addition, 
>HSSP will be offering lecture series, which are series of classes on 
>a particular general theme, taught by different teachers each week. 
>The topics of this year's Lecture Series have not been decided, but 
>information on both programs is online at 
><<http://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP/esprinkler.html>http://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP/esprinkler.html>, 
>or you can email us at 
><mailto:spring-hssp at mit.edu>spring-hssp at mit.edu if you're interested.
>
>Don't know what to teach? Want to improve specific teaching skills? 
>You can get help brainstorming class ideas and improving your 
>teaching with our new Teacher Lab. There will be three different 
>weekend sessions, each on a different aspect of teaching. You can 
>attend any of the three pairs of sessions independently (although 
>you should attend both sessions in the pair). You can find more 
>information about Teacher Lab at 
><<http://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP/TeacherLab.html>http://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP/TeacherLab.html>.
>
>Spring HSSP is run by the MIT Educational Studies Program, which 
>organizes many educational opportunities throughout the year such as 
>Splash and Spark.

>Best,
