As an outreach program at Phillips Academy Andover, IRT recruits and prepares graduate school candidates through year-long programming, starting with the flagship Summer Workshop. The program is delivered virtually, making it accessible to all accepted scholars. IRT's pedagogical approach centers on inclusion, supporting students within classrooms, and enhancing community relationships. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential for excellence. The Summer Workshop helps students develop their professional identity while honoring their social identities. Each year, IRT selects 100-130 scholars. IRT is a community where faculty (all alums) support professionalization, pedagogical development, and curricular skill-building. During the workshop, scholars and faculty engage in seminars and skill-building sessions, exploring how to align academic interests with future graduate studies. These seminars introduce critical theory in education, humanities, and social sciences, preparing students for the philosophical rigors of graduate coursework. The IRT curriculum includes lectures, chalk talks, and presentations by nationally recognized educators. Our Consortium partners will participate in a virtual Graduate Recruitment Fair in mid-July. Summer Faculty will receive orientation and onboarding before the Summer Workshop, with dates/times TBD.
