Summer Institute 2018 Poster Sessions Needed

Summer Institute 2018 Poster Sessions Needed

Summer Institute is all about sharing and learning from your colleagues. Help make the event a success by presenting a poster session!

It doesn’t need to be fancy.

  1.  Make a poster highlighting a program innovation, new teaching routine, exciting classroom activity, etc.
  2. Create a handout that people can take with them. During the poster session (1:15-2:00 pm on Thursday, August 16)
  3. Stand by your poster, meet with your peers and answer questions. It’s like a science fair for ABE teachers!
