Dear SUPA Partners,
We hope that you are all enjoying your summer break!
We recently wrapped up our SUPA Summer Institute workshops on the Syracuse University campus. Over 100 instructors joined us earlier this month to train with Syracuse University faculty in over 30 different course areas, including SUPA’s newest course pilots: Esports, Design Thinking, Digital Photography, and Applied Data Science.
SUPA welcomed teachers from partner schools from across New York state as well as neighboring New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Attendees from SUPA’s California and international school partners had the distinction of traveling the farthest to participate in our Summer Institute. The latter included partner schools in China, South Korea, and SUPA’s very first partner school in India.
Teachers spent the week preparing to become Syracuse University adjunct instructors by familiarizing themselves with the university curriculum, course learning objectives, pedagogy, textbooks, assessment standards, student support resources, etc. and exchanging best practices with SU faculty and their workshop cohort.
As a special shout out, SUPA would like to recognize 18 new school partners with teachers participating in our 2025 Summer Institute:
Our SUPA team of staff and faculty are looking forward to a rewarding 2025-2026 school year with our SUPA school partners and to hearing all about the inspirational instruction being provided by this talented group of educators and about the many achievements and successes of our SUPA students.
