Southern California Teaching Symposium

In collaboration with Flintridge Prep, the first-ever Southern California Teaching Symposium: Creating Connections invites teachers, innovators, and thought leaders to participate in a day-long conference where we’ll celebrate teaching and learning. We’ll imagine how our students can most effectively learn key skills and concepts, while also learning deeply and supporting each other in an educational world that asks for flexibility and growth. This is a wonderful local opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, take part in dynamic presentations led by your peers, and possibly give a presentation yourself. We’ll be glad to welcome you!
