vacation times and summer session teaching, while still allowing time to enact transformations prior to the start of the fall semester. Consequently, we chose to start the Institute after the July 4th holiday. We also observed that by July instructors are typically starting to think about their fall courses. 3) We included a pod format/model within the SI for several reasons: a) To ensure that participants had time during the institute to work on their course transformation plans and portfolio components b) To ensure that participants received feedback on their ideas and portfolio component drafts from their assigned Pod Mentor. c) To ensure participants could connect to
