TEACHER INSTITUTES
What makes Habla Teacher Institutes
unique?
The focus of Habla Institutes is on you, the educator. At an Habla Institute you will meet educational leaders from around the world and, rather than hearing a series of presentations, have the opportunity to meaningfully engage with this extraordinary community. In addition Habla institutes offer educators a host of practical strategies and tools that can be immediately activated in any educational setting.

How do we preserve the treasures in our world? This question will guide the immersive PBL experience for this year's PBL In Action: Found Nature.

Documentation
Documentation is an essential part of Habla, capturing the learning experiences, creative processes, and
collaborative projects that define our Teacher Institutes. This section offers a comprehensive look at recent
institutes, providing resources, books, texts, and even playlists that reflect the depth of each experience.
Through these materials, educators can revisit key moments, explore innovative teaching strategies, and
find inspiration for their own practice.
