Jane Austen for Teachers is the Jane Austen Collaborative's digital humanities outreach program for PreK-12 teachers. We offer an immersive, collaborative, and project-based learning experience for educators who want to learn more about incorporating digital humanities projects into the classroom. Teacher fellows will attend JASP with some teacher-centered bonuses! Fellows will meet before and during JASP to engage in teacher-centered discussions inspired by the program. Afterwards, teacher fellows will collaborate with program directors and digital humanities experts to investigate practical digital teaching tools and begin to draft their own teaching resources, tailored to their own classroom needs.
​
Jane Austen for Teachers provides a community-based support system for teachers who want to combine their passion for the humanities with practical professional development in digital tools. Teacher fellows will leave with fluency in new digital humanities tools, the opportunity to publish a collaborative project, and a draft lesson arc that incorporates digital tools into their classrooms.
​
Jane Austen for Teachers build a tight-knit, collaborative group of fellow teacher-learners.
Before JASP
​
Teacher fellows will come together virtually to meet fellow educators, discuss goals, and get excited for this year's programming! As a teacher-centered program, we are excited to hear from you about what you want to get out of this year's Jane Austen for Teachers.
During JASP
​
Teacher fellows will participate in all four days of the Jane Austen Summer Program. Across the symposium, teachers will meet to discuss your evolving interests and the ways in which you envision getting to use Jane Austen in the classroom.
After JASP
​
When funding allows, our teacher fellows stay longer following JASP to participate together in digital humanities and pedagogy workshops and to discuss, experiment, and engage with one another as a community. Expanding on the ideas that most inspired you during JASP, Jane Austen for Teachers invites attendees to begin creating teaching tools that can work for you in your classroom.
