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.

Reflection on the DTI Experience:
I did not know what to expect from the course. I was drawn to the title (I saw the word food ). I was so impressed with the flow of the class. From the professor, to the guest lecturers, to my “classmates”, to the hands-on experience of creating a dish together. What an awesome way to teach about a subject and address all modalities/styles of learning.
Thank you DTI. My first course but certainly not my last.
