JANE AUSTEN
FOR TEACHERS

Teachers
for Early Literature + Historical Literacy

Jane Austen for Teachers (JA4T) hopes to empower teachers in the art of teaching early literature, increase historical literacy among K-12 students, provide the highest quality continuing education credits (CEUs) for teachers, and create free resources for teachers at all levels as well as interested book clubs.

All teachers are welcome to attend the teacher professionalization sessions at the annual 4-day Jane Austen Summer Program (JASP). Teachers will receive state-of-the-art pedagogy instruction and also enjoy a fun and informative program and community experience. Teachers will be charged a reduced rate to attend this program.
Middle and high school teachers can apply for a scholarship to attend JASP for free. Each year several teacher scholars will be selected. Follow JA4T or JASP to learn more.
Teachers work together to expand our digital archive of resources for teaching Jane Austen to all levels of readers.
