Educators Exchange Ideas at Teacher Institute
This morning, nearly 100 teachers from as far away as El Paso arrived on campus for the biennial St. Mark’s Teacher Institute. Participants spent the day attending workshops with master teachers and other faculty members who shared instructional techniques and proven methods in English and Middle School Humanities instruction. Teachers then witnessed these practices in action, observing St. Mark’s faculty in the classroom.

“This is my favorite training!” said January Rowe, an English teacher from Prosper High School and a regular participant in the Teacher Institute. “I love going into the classroom and seeing the things we learn during the workshops put into action with real students.”
One of the day’s highlights was keynote speaker Carol Jago, who has taught English in middle and high school for 32 years, served as president of the National Council of Teachers of English, and writes about education for numerous publications.
The St. Mark’s Teacher Institute was founded in 1991 with a grant from The O’Donnell Foundation, and had also been generously supported by the Hudson Foundation, to provide increased professional development opportunities for teachers throughout the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex. The program is directed by two members of the St. Mark’s faculty – Lynne Weber, Trustee Master Teacher, and Rebecca Jenkins, humanities teacher.
