Center For Mark Twain Studies Offering Virtual Summer Institute for Teachers
Elmira, NY (06/11/2020) — The Center for Mark Twain Studies, along with the Elmira College Office of Continuing Education & Graduate Studies, EC Teacher Education Department, and the Greater Southern Tier Teacher Center, are collaborating to offer the 2020 Summer Institute for Teachers on Tuesday, July 14 and Wednesday, July 15. Due to the challenges stemming from the ongoing pandemic, this year's Mark Twain Summer Institute will be held online and offered at no expense to teachers.
The theme this year is "The New Normal: The Past Speaking to Our Student's Present." This year's Institute seeks to enable students to understand that what they have been experiencing, feeling, and fearing during COVID-19 is not singular, a "thing" that makes them different and alone. Additionally, the Institute will explore the killing of Mr. George Floyd and the ensuing massive protests in all 50 states - protests that have included so many of our students while the pandemic rages on.
