Refugee Educator Foundations of Practice Summer Institute | 2021

Teachers

The Refugee Educator Foundations of Practice Summer Institute took place in 2021.

We invite educators working in refugee resettlement contexts across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere to join us this summer for a rich learning opportunity within a vibrant community of practice.

Intended for teachers, instructional coaches, counselors, paraeducators, and other K-12 school staff members, the Refugee Educator Foundations of Practice Summer Institute aimed to help those working with refugees or individuals of immigrant backgrounds:

  • boost  knowledge and skills
  • prepare materials, lesson plans, and more for the next academic year
  • connect with colleagues committed to inclusion, equity, and joy in teaching and learning
  • receive support and recognition for professional growth
  • and much more!
