DELETE Secondary ELA and Social Studies PL - September 28 2026

Teaching high school freshmen can be an adventure. In this session, teachers of freshmen at different levels (College Prep, AP, and IB) will share some ideas about what works well in their classrooms and what pitfalls they seek to avoid. They will also provide specific prompts to lead group discussions about what works well in other classrooms so that we can all spend time learning from each other. Come prepared to do a little venting, a lot of problem solving, and be ready to share your secrets for teaching among the chaos of ninth graders.  Note: phrases such as "6-7" and "skibidi" will not be tolerated in this session.
