JOIN CAROL TOMLINSON FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

The Institutes on Academic Diversity are committed to providing educators with high quality, research-based support in differentiating instruction. We offer 2 annual professional development events for teachers, administrators, and graduate students.

Dr. Carol Tomlinson leads the Institues which take place on the University of Virginia grounds in Charlottesville, VA. The Institutes are a stone's throw from Thomas Jefferson’s beloved Monticello and are a short drive to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Attendance at each institute is limited to ensure a more personalized learning experience.

Limited scholarships are available based on need for each conference. If you are interested, please email us with a one-page explanation about why you need the scholarship and what you hope to do with your training. The deadline for these is generally 2 months prior to the institute start date. Please wait to register and pay for the conference until you have heard if you have been granted a scholarship.
