Invitational Summer Institute

Each NWP site holds an invitational summer institute every year. The several thousand teachers who participate typically report a "great shift" in their teaching, describing the institute as the "best professional development" they have ever had. The summer institute is at the core of NWP's model of "teachers teaching teachers." More ›
