Teacher Training Letter to My Future Self
Friday, August 7 (10-11:30am PDT)
When schools closed in spring, no one knew how much life as we knew it was about to change. There’s never been a time like this. What do you think your future self would think of it? Participants will craft their own draft of a “Letter to My Future Self: A 2020 Experience” and discuss with fellow teachers ways to make this structure the most meaningful experience for incoming students.
Can’t make it? No problem. Register and we’ll send you a recording of the workshop and the toolkit.
