Drawing of a horseshoe crab

Science and Art Come Together for the Win!

When Fellow Nancy Ventresca wrote her unit “The Unsinkable Horseshoe Crab” she aimed to educate her Christina School District students about this aquatic organism that plays an essential role in the Delaware coastal ecosystem.

DTI Comes Full Circle

Each spring, Delaware Teachers Institute Fellows arrive on campus to begin a twelve seminar journey. They gather together with a small group of teachers from our five partner districts to not only increase their content knowledge but ultimately write units that they will implement in their classroom and publish for other teachers to access.

Reflecting on the DTI experience:

“Being part of the Institute has made me a happier, more knowledgeable, and ultimately a way better teacher. P.S. my students are a lot more engaged and working at a real high level.”
