What people are saying about Summer Institutes
“Summer Institutes understands the soul of educators and it has created a learning environment that returns teachers to their roots… It engages, respects, and celebrates education and educators and restores their passion to make a difference in all students lives.”
Rick Miller – Kids at Hope Founder
“I have been to hundreds of conferences, and Summer Institutes sits at the very top of that list. As both a presenter and an alumni of SI, I can unequivocally say that it opens the door to being your very best!”
Coach Golden Pat Ruel – World Champions Seattle Seahawks
I have attended and facilitated Summer Institutes Conferences since 2009. I am passionate about the vision and direction that SI has for educators. This conference will refuel teachers and have them return to school with enthusiasm, energy and a full teacher tool box!
As an elementary principal I feel strongly about relationships being a key component in my career.
Barbi Riggs – Elementary Principal
“CALSA is interested in recruiting SI trained teachers to become administrators because they understand that the most important ‘R’ in education is Relationships. Administrators who have graduated from these Summer Institutes are more empathetic towards their staff and concentrate on diminishing teacher burnout. Simply put, a happy and healthy teacher will motivate students to succeed.”
Tom Davis – CALSA Director
