2027 Amistad Commission Summer Institute
Each year, the Amistad Commission hosts a Summer Institute for New Jersey educators and administrators. This in-person event offers an opportunity to learn from experts and explore practical strategies for implementing the NJ Amistad Law across all K–12 subjects. The 2027 Summer Institute will be hosted at The College of New Jersey from August 3- August 5, 2027.
The Institute features plenary sessions, breakout workshops tailored to elementary, middle, and high school educators, and engaging cultural programming.
All teachers, administrators, curriculum specialists, department chairs, and education leaders are invited to join us for a rewarding and enriching and informative experience.
