Goals

The Summer Institute for Teachers runs a series of innovative summer experiences for educators. These programs combine service or adventure travel with rigorous and enriching experiential learning. The goal of the program is to offer transformative summer experiences to teachers that will help to renew their passion both as students and as teachers. These experiences will give participants the opportunity to deeply engage with a small community of colleagues, and they will provide teachers with detailed and concrete tools to integrate service and experiential learning into the classroom. All trips will be last from one to two weeks in July. Meals and accommodations will be modest both to keep down cost and to assure that our travels are, as much as possible, in balance with the natural and social worlds we are experiencing.
