Discovery Education Summer Institute

The programme features seminars and workshops from keynote speakers, the Discovery Education team, and members of the Discovery Education Community. These experiences will energise your teaching, and the opportunities to connect, collaborate, and share with Discovery Education teachers from around the world, will inspire you to continue learning and leading.

How to enter

There are two parts to your entry.

Part 1: The written portion
In addition to providing information about who you are in general, you'll be asked to describe how you are using Discovery Education resources, why you should be accepted, and how you will share what you learn at the summer institute. Please answer the questions thoughtfully. This will help us learn more about you as a teacher.

Part 2: The video submission - so we can get to know you
A simple two-minute video of you talking to camera, made using any device, telling us about how you are transforming teaching and learning in your classroom and/or school.
