Summer Literacy Institutes
The 2026 NH Summer Literacy Institutes consists of graduate-level courses and keynote speakers offered for one week (2.0 credits) or one week with additional instruction time in an online format (3.0 credits). We also offer non-credit workshops (TBA soon!). For details please go to "Summer Literacy Courses and Workshops for Teachers" in the side left panel of this page.
Writers Academy
A place where students are treated as writers and can put their creative juices to work and improve their skills in a relaxed yet challenging environment. Students will write daily and exchange ideas with other young writers. Enrollment begins January 15th!
Learning Through Teaching
An innovative, in-service program designed to help K-12 teachers meet their individual goals in teaching, reading, writing, and literature. It is unique, because it brings teacher education to the site of instruction—the teacher’s school and classroom.
Research Activities and Initiatives
Supporting college readiness and promoting professional development through teacher-initiated research and dialogue.
