Each August, the IDEAL Consortium hosts a multi-day institute for representatives from member states. Participants have an opportunity to share information and learn from one another, see presentations about each member states' work, and discuss innovative instructional strategies, important policy considerations, and administrative practices. The goal of Institute activities is to help members plan for the upcoming distance and digital education programming in their states.
August 19 - 20, 2025
optional facilitated in-person state support meetings on the morning of August 21
Washington D.C. and Online
To retain the meeting feel of past IDEAL Institutes, and due to space limitations, each state will have spots for 2 people to attend in person. Up to 4 additional people can attend online, and they will be fully integrated into the meeting and hosted by our online facilitators.
Thank you to our generous sponsors for their support of the 2024 IDEAL Summer Institute.
