Join Fishtank's Professional Learning team and other educators who are implementing Fishtank's ELA curriculum for a two-day interactive professional learning experience. Join us as we build on each other's expertise and share strategies for building a strong, inclusive ELA classroom that incorporates research-based best practices to support student learning.

At Fishtank Learning, we believe that engaging teachers in ongoing learning, building their capacity to adapt curriculum with integrity, and trusting them to make the right decisions for their students will result in the best teaching and learning.

Fishtank Learning's ELA Launch Summer Institute is designed for educators new to the Fishtank curriculum and offers onboarding support as teachers build their understanding of Fishtank's approach to reading, the structures of a Fishtank lesson plan, and what it means to intellectually prepare for a unit of study.
