【For High School Teachers】”The 9th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” May 29 (Sat) Call for Participants

 
We are pleased to announce that the 9th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting will be held as follows.

This year marks the fourth year of the Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting. In order to provide a place for students to share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management and class improvement, and to interact with them to solve them, we have held them on themes that meet the needs of high schools. Now that we are entering a “development period” as a collaboration between high schools and universities, we would like to think together, connect with each other, and create plans in order to expand the circle between high schools and universities.

Therefore, this time, we will use this opportunity for high school teachers to commit to planning through frank exchanges and opinions between high school teachers and university faculty members regarding the planning of this year’s exchange event.

In addition, based on the opinions here, we will create a plan for the 10th and 11th exchange meetings. Let’s come up with a plan together.

We look forward to your active participation.
