Summer Institute Virtual Poster Sessions Still Available to View

Poster sessions at this year’s virtual Summer Institute Conference were… virtual. And awesome! Presenters created 28 short 3- to 10-minute videos highlighting a program activity, a fun activity, a how-to, or a classroom best practice. Many of the videos also have links to handouts or other resources. If you didn’t get a chance to view them at the Conference, the videos are still available!
