About:

June 8, 9, & 10, 2026 

In this 2026 Summer Institute, K-16th educators representing diverse contexts will use the power of storytelling to investigate borderlands. By interweaving multimodalities-visual, sound, and movement and by reading children’s literature deeply, participants will create complex narrative tapestries of experience and empathy on the borderlands that they will, in turn, use to support student conversations and conceptions.

This institute is open to all primary and secondary educators working in: Prek-16th grade school settings visual arts, theater, and music educators, museums, libraries, and community organizations.

NM K-12 teachers will receive a small stipend and materials. Registration is limited.

Deadline extended to May 15. 


Notes:

This event is free and open to the public.
