Summer Teacher Institute brings K-12 and post-secondary educators along with arts education specialists, historians, community educators, curriculum designers, and performers to learn how to effectively use rock and roll to teach across the disciplines. Educators learn how to connect popular music to their own classroom curricula – from the history of hip-hop to the science of sound – by creating new and exciting learning environments that can help meet the needs of all students, no matter their level or learning style.

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!"
