Hello Friends, Welcome back to school! We hope that you have had some rest and relaxation this summer, along with learning and planning. In late July, we wrapped up three summer teacher institutes, where we learned from and with an AMAZING group of educators. Our Seat of War and Peace summer institute was featured in Education Week. In early August we welcomed 36 of our National Oratory Fellows for their
“pre-treat” to learn from one another and plan with Ford’s teaching
artists. We have seven new Fellows this year and added New Jersey and
Virginia to our Oratory map! As you decorate your classrooms, go to in-school PD and welcome students back, please remember that we are here to support you. Whether it’s a field trip, a student matinee or an oratory festival residency, we hope to welcome you this coming year, and we’re always available to consult on resources or strategies. There’s more information about all these programs below.
We look forward to reconnecting with you over the next weeks and months. Enjoy these steamy August days. Sarah, Jake, Cynthia, David, Alex and Jennie |
