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!
Blending culturally responsive teaching principles with art and writing, educators explore their own identities while guiding immigrant students to reflect on theirs. The focus is on identifying and breaking down internalized oppression to recreate a positive self-image. Scaffolded for marginalized students including English Language Learners. No art teaching experience necessary.
