Each summer we offer week-long Responsive Classroom institutes for K–6 educators in locations nationwide. The Summer 2010 week-long institute season is complete, and we're now lining up locations for Summer 2011. If your school would like to host one of next year's summer institutes, please read the host site application guidelines.

We'll announce the dates and locations for next summer's Responsive Classroom institutes in January 2011.
