PIER Summer Institute for Educators

July 10 – July 17

The Summer Institute is a series of intensive professional development sessions that serve as a continuing educational training tool for in-service and pre-service K-12 and university-level teachers. It is sponsored by Programs in International Education Resources, The Council on Latin American & Iberian Studies at Yale, the MacMillan Center, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at NYU and the U.S. Department of Education through a Title VI National Resource Center grant.

The objective of the Summer Institute is to present the best and latest scholarship on international education to help educators introduce current perspectives on international topics and improve teaching materials for their students. The sessions are led by Yale faculty, graduate students and other expert educators who provide an in-depth understanding of the latest research on teaching international content subjects in schools. Workshops include discussions, activities, skill building, and new tools to use for lesson planning. This Summer Institute for educators will explore the theme of Colonial Latin America and seek to understand the ways in which the colonial period contributed to the modern Latin American identity. Upon completion of a week-long workshop on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, participants will have the opportunity to learn about these issues on the ground through an optional field trip to the Dominican Republic, sponsored by InteRDom. The week-long field study will provide the opportunity to deepen educators' knowledge about Colonial Latin America as they participate in lectures, discussions, architectural tours, and guided visits with experts to archaeological sites, art museums, architectural sites, local communities and plantation zones.
