The Summer Teacher Institute brings K-12 and post-secondary teachers together with arts education specialists, historians, community educators, curriculum designers, performers and music therapists to learn how to use popular music effectively to teach across the disciplines. Work alongside the Rock Hall’s award-winning education department and explore how you can integrate rock and roll into your own classroom curriculum. Walk through classroom-tested activities that can deepen your students’ engagement with popular music while meeting and exceeding state and national content standards – whether your focus is language arts, social studies, music, technology or other content areas. Regardless of your specialty, rock and roll can help you electrify your classroom and make learning come alive for your students.

I was looking for a change in my "everything," from the design of my classroom to the order of my curriculum. I am leaving here with so many ideas for the future. My admin should be worried. All kidding aside, this was the best experience for me. I am definitely going to be back and I'll be talking my co-workers into joining me. Thank you!
It was hands-down the best professional development I have ever participated in. Everything ran smoothly, showed planning and attention to detail, and was packed full of classroom-friendly, engaging information and material - in short, exactly what this teacher was looking for. Thank you!"
