Get ready for the Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning 2023! We are excited to invite you as we embark on this journey together to explore the Joy of Learning and Teaching (JOLT).
As educators, we know that teaching and learning are both complex and dynamic processes. They require not only knowledge and skills, but also passion, curiosity, and empathy. At times, however, we may find ourselves so caught up in the day-to-day demands of our jobs that we forget to take a step back and reflect on what truly brings us joy in our profession. This Summer Institute is designed to help us do just that.
On May 18th and 19th, we will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions, attend thought-provoking workshops, and collaborate with colleagues from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. We aim to deepen our understanding of what it means to be an effective and joyful teacher and learner and explore strategies for creating positive and inclusive learning environments that foster engagement, curiosity, and growth.
One of the key themes of this Institute is the idea that joy is not just a byproduct of effective teaching and learning, but an essential ingredient. When we approach our work joyfully, we are more creative, resilient, and effective at inspiring our students to learn. Joyful teaching and learning also have a ripple effect, creating a positive culture of learning that extends beyond the classroom.

As we embark on this journey, we encourage you to approach it with an open mind and a sense of curiosity. Take advantage of every opportunity to learn and connect with your colleagues, and don’t be afraid to share your own perspectives and ideas. Remember that the joy of teaching and learning is not something that can be measured by test scores or evaluations, but rather something that we experience every day in our interactions with our students and with one another.
We hope that this Summer Institute will be an enriching and inspiring experience for all of us, and that it will help us deepen our commitment to creating joyful and effective learning experiences for our students. Welcome, and let’s embrace the Joy of teaching and learning!
