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: 

DTI has provided me with a valuable opportunity to expand my knowledge and grow in my professional practice. Developing a curriculum unit based on the topics we have discussed, which include distraction, disinformation, and artificial intelligence, is relevant to my students and their lives. Our readings, guest speakers, and seminar leader have inspired me to share my newfound knowledge with others, and I am eager to see how my students will grow their media literacy skills after engaging in the unit I have developed. This experience has been both intellectually challenging and rewarding, and I have truly enjoyed connecting with other passionate educators across the state who are committed to making a meaningful difference in education.
