Summer Institutes
CERCLL offers a combination of in-person, hybrid and virtual summer institutes that provide professional development opportunities for language and culture educators Some are the result of research and resources created by CERCLL-funded projects, while others are offered on topics requested by educators who have attended other professional development events that we have hosted.
In Summer 2025, CERCLL is organizing two summer institutes. Further details and registration will be available in January, 2025.
