Welcome to Teacher Summer Institute 2017! For the first time ever, Boston Public Schools and the Boston Teachers Union are co-hosting an academic conference for teachers. TSI will focus on highlighting the best practices of some of our most passionate urban educators across BPS. Teachers, central office staff, and valued members of our community will join together to help bring a shared vision for instruction to life across the district. Please note, this is open to all educators, and is not exclusively for new teachers. We hope to see you there!
Focus on K1 is the nationally-acclaimed preschool curriculum implemented in 200+ Boston classrooms. In this introductory session, participants will be trained in the First Three Weeks of School and Units 1 & 2.

Participants will learn curriculum content, as well as high-quality practices for successful implementation.
