Brown Teacher Institute

Funded by the Anne & Ryland Brown Teacher Enrichment Fund, our Brown Teacher Institute is held at multiple locations each summer. During each two-day institute, Library of Virginia staff members and guest speakers offer tools, resources, and content to aid educators in the classroom. Teachers explore how to use primary sources to enhance student learning and discover new digital resources.

The Fund supports the Brown Teacher Institute and the Brown Teacher Fellowship programs.
