Hello everyone, please review the information about the upcoming DPI Summer Institute and share with interested parties.  

Don’t miss your chance to join one of Wisconsin’s most energizing professional learning experiences of the year! The 2026 Summer Institute, hosted by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), brings school teams together for four days of deep learning, collaboration, and innovation. 

Deadline to Apply:  Friday May 1, 2026
Location: Lowenwood Education Center, Land O’ Lakes
Dates: June 22 – 25, 2026
What Your Team Receives
Participating teams will engage in a professional learning experience designed to spark creativity and support systems-level change. Your team will receive:
  • $2,000 in implementation funds to support innovation work, provide honoraria to staff, or meet other identified needs
  • Explicit, systems-level professional development from Wisconsin educators engaging in innovative work to highlight what is possible
  • Ongoing support throughout the 2026-2027 school year via online sessions to help operationalize your action plan
What Past Participants Have Said
  • “I loved the variety of speakers!  Having Wisconsin people from Wisconsin schools model what is possible gave me hope.”
  • “Meeting directly with folks who were invested in improving systems and pursuing PBL learning, helping each other generate new ideas, and building a sense of solidarity with other educators was SO rewarding.”
  • “It was powerful to engage with like-minded educators from around the state in the work of innovation for student learning. So often we are in spaces with the nay-sayers and are therefore restrained in some ways from fully expressing our ideas and dreams. This was a beautiful space for a short moment in time when we could move beyond those restraints to dream big.”
Key Highlights of the Institute
  • Hands-on activities: Explict support in creating an action plan to implement innovative practices in your district
  • Informative sessions: Insights from Wisconsin educators and experts on the most current innovative education efforts
  • Interactive discussions: Meaningful conversations with peers to share ideas, challenges, and successes
  • Networking opportunities: Build relationships with educators and leaders from across the state
Ready to Transform Learning in Wisconsin?
We look forward to your participation in this transformative event. Together, we can create a brighter future for our students, educators, and communities.
