Miami Teachers Institute

This June 24-28, the Poetry Foundation will be hosting a Miami Summer Poetry Teachers Institute. The five-day event will include seminars and workshops with some of today’s most compelling poets. Also, participants will study and discuss poetry with renowned poetry practitioners and expert teachers to develop lesson plans to bring back to their classrooms. Teachers will receive 30 Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDUs) for completing the Institute, and tuition will be paid by the Poetry Foundation. We invite Miami-Dade County teachers across K-12 grade levels and community college instructors to apply. The Institute seeks a range of participants: new and experienced teachers, those who enjoy teaching poetry, and those who have shied away from it. You can apply here. The application deadline is February 26, 2019.
