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.

Here's what one teen participant had to say: "Thank you! I found today very helpful for my peace of mind. I appreciated this workshop a lot and I'm excited to look back on the letter in a few years!" Doran C.
