2021 SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS

Our 2021 Summer Institute got off to an early start! We have been Zooming with our 2021 Lerner Fellows.  It has been fun and we are getting to meet each other! For future Summer Institutes, we are considering holding Zoom calls prior to everyone arriving at Columbia University. It is a great way for everyone to connect and to discuss topics of interest to the group.
