The TECTA Advantage

TECTA Summer Research Institutes provide 5 or more hours of approved training on specific, relevant topics in early childhood. Registration is open to all Tennessee early educators.

TECTA Summer Research Institutes are annual training events open to all Tennessee educators. Since 2008, these events have provided educators with an opportunity to engage in research-focused learning, collaborate with peers, and deepen their understanding of effective teaching practices.

Each institute focuses on research-based approaches to early childhood education. Guest presenters are invited to share their experiences with child development, learning theories, and instructional strategies. Attendees learn how to apply research findings to their teaching practices, creating more enriching and engaging learning experiences for young children.
