Gearing up for two ALBA summer institutes
After holding successful week-long institutes for high-school teachers in New York City and Tampa, Florida, last year, ALBA is proud to announce its first institute in the Midwest, entitled “Ohio and the Spanish Civil War” (June 13-18). The Institute is co-sponsored by the Ohio Humanities Council, Oberlin College, and the Puffin Foundation. Professor Sebastiaan Faber (ALBA Board Chair) is its director.
With support from the Puffin Foundation and the School District of Hillsborough County, the 2010 Tampa Teachers Institute will be hosted again this year at the University of South Florida under the direction of ALBA board member Professor Fraser Ottanelli (July 19-23). The New York City Summer Institute will be on hiatus in 2010 as we prepare for our fall NYC development day for teachers. This past April, the Tampa Insititute launched its first teacher development day.
