The High Tech High Graduate School of Education is proud to announce that we will continue to hold collegial conversations this year.  Collegial conversations occur on the second Saturday of the month at High Tech High International at 2855 Farragut Road, San Diego, CA, 92106 (also the home of the High Tech High Graduate School of Education).  

Collegial conversations runs from 10:30-11:30am, followed by an informal discussion and lunch from 11:30-12:00pm. 

During these Collegial Conversations, teachers will collaborate in small groups to discuss student work, projects, assessment strategies, and dilemmas using various protocols. These discussions will help educators to improve and inform their teaching practices, while introducing conversation protocols that can be utilized at their own school. It is also a great way to network with other educators.  We encourage teachers from preK - college to attend, as well as university faculty, community members, and others interested in education.  Collegial conversations were inspired by the Harvard Rounds.

In addition to the face to face Collegial Conversations, we also offer collegial conversations online.
