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!
Teachers will examine how explicitly teaching signal words in the middle and upper grades gives students access to grade level content and connects to language and grammar. Teachers will identify signal words to break down the language demands of a unit and brainstorm ways signal words can enhance units of study.
