ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

This residential Institute is a gathering for teacher, parents, school leaders, and other educators who wish to examine issues of teaching and learning through the perspective of Descriptive Inquiry. At the Summer Institute we come together with others who share our commitment to creating classrooms and schools where all children—and all people— are valued. In joining our experiences, ideas, and questions with those of educators and others who share a vision that starts and builds from students’ and teachers’ strengths, we reinvigorate our own practice and our sense of what is possible.

The Institute on Descriptive Inquiry (Institute 2) is appropriate for people who have had experience with the Descriptive processes. If you have not engaged with the processes previously, the Institute on Descriptive Processes (Institute 1) would be more appropriate. If you have any questions, please contact our Registrar, Alexis, at alexis@idiprocess.org
