Annapolis Teacher-Learner Institute
Annapolis Teacher-Learner Institute Brochure
The AnnapolisTeacher-Learner Institute at St. Anne’s School of Annapolis was founded to offer professional development workshops designed to inspire and support educators in their mission to prepare students for the 21st century.
Select St. Anne’s School staff and invited guest speakers will provide an on-site summer workshops to public and independent school teachers from across the region who seek to expand their understanding of a range of topics that reflect best practices in education and which are central to the mission of St. Anne’s School of Annapolis. Workshops will provide educators – both veterans and those new to teaching -- an opportunity to test new ideas, challenge themselves and build on their network of teaching colleagues.
The unifying factor for instruction offered through the Annapolis Teacher-Learner Institute is the acknowledgement of the child as an independent researcher and compassionate collaborator, capable of cultivating skills across all areas of learning. Workshop topics will combine concepts of inquiry-based learning and research, the project approach to the 21st century, social justice, everyday leadership, the social curriculum and service to others.
St. Anne’s School of Annapolis is the ideal setting to the Teacher-learner institute, as Episcopal education traditionally has been far-reaching, seeking to prepare young learners in every aspect of life. The guiding principles underscored in the Episcopal teaching and learning – valuing intellectual discipline, reason and wonder; governing oneself; living in community; and preparing for a life of purpose – will serve as the foundation for the institute in our goal to provide a unique environment, resources, and community for educators seeking to cultivate these principles in their own classrooms.
