Yale National Initiative Fall Conference

On October 28 and 29, the 2016 Yale National Fellows and administrators from Teachers Institutes gathered in New Haven for the Yale National Initiative's annual fall conference. This gathering highlights curriculum units that National Fellows created during the intensive summer Institute, and how those curriculum units were implemented in the classroom.

Tara Ann Carter, Hill-Freedman World Academy – Contemporary American Indian History

Sydney Coffin, Edison/Fareira High School – ‘Over the Rainbow’: Fantasy Lands, Dream Worlds and Magic Kingdoms

Klint Kanopka, The Academy at Palumbo – The Number Line in the Common Core

The conference was attended by TIP’s founding director, Dr. Alan Lee and incoming director, Mr. Edward Epstein. TIP’s National Fellows were grateful for the opportunity to celebrate Dr. Lee’s retirement with YNI colleagues from all over the United States.
