The Teaching Foundations program is designed to support the growth and success of all teachers—particularly those in their early years at independent schools—by focusing on foundational areas of classroom teaching.

Come to be a part of a community of science teachers and learners that will reflect on where we have been, what we have learned and where we are going. Participants will explore the teacher’s role in engaging students in investigation and design. We will investigate strategies that put students at the center of their learning to fully engage, think deeply, ask questions, and apply their skills and knowledge to our society and natural world.

This series is designed for 7th-12th grade humanities teachers, humanities department chairs, academic deans, and directors of 21st century learning. New teachers as well as mid-career and veteran teachers interested in reassessing their approach to teaching writing are welcome.

This series of five interactive sessions will support world language teachers in applying the new California World Language Standards (adopted in 2019) and Framework (adopted in 2020) in service of developing students’ proficiency. Shared instructional practices will be designed and differentiated to make learning relevant to teachers of all languages, contexts, and grade levels.

This group will engage participants on how to more intentionally participate in a deep reflective practice that speaks to their emotional and intellectual selves. Our sessions will provide the space for participants to engage directly in a range of reflective practices with application to their current experiences as teachers and leaders as well as explore ways to bring these practices into their classrooms and school sites.
