【For High School Teachers】”The 8th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” February 3 (Wed) Call for Participants

The “Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” is a place where people who transcend the boundaries of schools and their founders can share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and interact with each other to solve problems.

We are pleased to announce that the 8th meeting will be held as follows.

In 2020, as a summary of the year in the Corona disaster, we will look back on what we were able to put into practice at the high school site and what we were not able to do through exchanges and dialogues among the participants. This is an opportunity for students to reflect on the achievements and challenges of their own educational practices, come into contact with more diverse practices and ideas, and use them as motivation for the next year.

This year’s event will focus on the following various fields, and participants will be divided into breakout sessions on their desired themes.

We look forward to your active participation.
