2026 AVLI SUMMER TEACHING INSTITUTE
Embracing the Virtue of the Productive Struggle

This 3-day retreat style professional development experience will involve discussions, workshops, and presentations focusing on how we can use intentional instructional design to build a classroom culture where challenges are meaningful and met with excitement and determination.
Who: Open to all interested teachers and administrators
When: June 16-19th, 2026
