What they're saying:
"The lessons and teaching strategies outlined in the Teaching Institute were perfect for my 5th grade interdisciplinary class. My students were able to express their creativity by making their own quilts using both the mathematical and cultural concepts they learned in the lesson. This clever introduction to basic geometry kept my students engaged, while allowing them to find the connection between math, art, and humanities."
Alicia Martinez, K-8 teacher
“I love the Teaching Institute. I learned a lot about how we can use culturally responsive teaching in STEM classrooms and how I can support all students from diverse backgrounds."
Sarah, K-8 STEM Teacher
