Institute Calendar & Syllabus

While the preparatory readings are at the college level and are rooted primarily in history, the subject matter covers a range of disciplines from literature, journalism, sociology, art, music—so that the inspired, creative teacher of any grade will be self-enriched as well as find opportunities to bring their students into this world.

Please note that while presenters and dates were confirmed at the proposal stage, there is always a possibility of change as the 2025 institute moves forward. This site will be updated when/if changes occur. The next update of this page is expected in late January 2025.
