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.

Ron Ritchhart will provide the opening keynote address.

The seventh annual WISSIT will take place from Monday, August 3 - Friday, August 7. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, WISSIT 2020 will not be held in person. Note that Virtual WISSIT 2020 will be completely online.

Given the impact Project Zero conferences and institutes have had on educators around the globe, this week of professional learning was a transformational experience. The learning will continue into the academic year, as participants gather for workshops and share classroom experiences in person or through online forums.
