Last year's students had great things to say about Summer Institute:
- This course was packed with information - I can't wait to go back & try in the classroom.
- I loved this conference - it was a great chance for high level learning
- Amazing and empowering!
- Loved our instructor - she was full of energy and made the class interesting and time fly!!! Great presenter - very knowledgeable and experienced, and provided good resources that I can take back and use in my work with families
- This course changed my attitude about my role as a teacher. I'm now seeing the classroom as a community, and children as competent & powerful
Thank you to our Summer Institute Sponsors!
We're looking for a few good trainers! |
