Favorite Poem Project: The Summer Poetry Institute

The institute encourages a dialogue among teachers about past successes, difficulties, and insights they’ve had in bringing poetry to students in their various communities. Teachers work in groups to develop lessons inspired by the institute’s presenters. The purpose of the institute is to demonstrate poetry’s power as a learning tool by offering participants an energizing approach to poems, materials for teaching, and refreshed skills to invigorate their instructional habits and practices.
