Goals of Summer Institute

The ISEEN Summer Institute supports educators in deepening their understanding of experiential education by grounding them in core theory, pedagogy, and practical application. Its goals include giving teachers time to collaborate with like‑minded peers, develop curriculum, and receive meaningful feedback, while also expanding their access to relevant resources and models. Through this immersive learning environment, participants gain a clearer sense of how experiential education can be integrated across disciplines and leave with a strong year‑round network of colleagues who continue to inspire and support their practice.
