Attending a High School Journalism Institute summer workshop will enable you to learn from expert media educators while earning professional development points or credit toward certification. Choose the program that works best for you.
The session dates for summer 2024 are: July 8-12, July 14-18.
Registration deadline: June 15
Choose the program that works best for you:
Attend HSJI alongside students from your school and among faculty who are passionate about journalism and student media ($25 fee). Each day, you’ll have opportunities to meet with your staff, refresh your journalism skills, and learn from experienced journalism educators and professionals. You’ll choose which sessions to audit. During meals, you’re welcome to dine with your students or with our faculty.
This workshop provides the most flexibility in meeting the needs of journalism teachers working toward license renewal or certification. If you register for the practicum, you’ll design your own course of study, which can range from practical application of journalism skills to the study of best practices in teaching journalism and advising student media.
Practicum contact hours can be used to earn one to three hours of graduate credit (graduate tuition fees apply) or professional development points ($250 flat fee). One hour of professional development equals one point for Indiana Department of Education for license renewal. During the time you’re on campus, you may audit any workshop session we present to the students and interact with master teachers.
You may create your own course or special project through the IU Media School’s independent study course and receive graduate credit (one to three credit hours) for your work. You will arrange to meet once or twice with HSJI Director Teresa White, who will advise you on your coursework and projects. Graduate tuition fees apply.
If you wish to complete an independent study during the summer, you should consult with Teresa White (terwhite@indiana.edu) by May 15 to develop an independent study proposal.
Optional low-cost, air-conditioned lodging is available on campus in Spruce Hall where HSJI students and faculty stay. Spruce Hall is located in the Southeast Neighborhood and features top-notch facilities.
