The Washington International School Summer Institute for Teachers (WISSIT): Connecting DC Educators with Project Zero Ideas brings together educators from all types of schools—traditional public, public charter, independent, and religiously-affiliated—as well as from community-based early learning centers, museums, and other educational settings, for the purpose of exploring ideas, pedagogical tools, and frameworks developed at Project Zero (PZ), a research group at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education.

WISSIT sessions have featured renowned Project Zero researchers Veronica Boix Mansilla, Edward Clapp, Mara Krechevsky, Ben Mardell, Ron Ritchhart, Sarah Sheya, and Shari Tishman, in addition to leading PZ practitioners from the DC area.
