Welcome to Summer Institutes

For more than three decades, Summer Institutes has provided relationship-based education for teachers, with a focus on alleviating teacher burnout. From a single site in Washington State in 1987, our conferences increased to 17 regional workshops throughout the United States.  Since the pandemic, SI has transformed to a dynamic series of online live and on-demand conferences and courses.   We’re extremely proud that our holistic approach to education has withstood the test of time as an effective, stress-free, and rejuvenating experience. Join us and become a part of our 21,000 member alumni family. We look forward to serving you!
