Looking back at TACT’s Teachers Teaching Teachers (TTT) event on November 16, 2024
TACT’s Teachers Teaching Teachers (TTT) professional development workshop on November 16th was a resounding success. The theme was Social Studies-Literacy integration and 62 educators PreK-12 participated. You can find all workshop resources in the TTT 1-pager.
In order for TACT to continue to offer free events to educators, we need to share with donors and sponsors the impact of our work. Please take a few minutes to complete the TTT feedback form if you have not done so. We will send you your choice of ONE free book if you have not received one already. Please share testimonials and show us how you are using TACT resources at curriculum@tactsf.org!! See photos from the TTT here.
Here are a few highlights from our TTT feedback responses:
“Learned about TACT and the various resource[es] they offer to teachers. These sessions helped fill in a lot of the gaps from the district curriculum.”
“Read Aloud is a great way to teach and to build knowledge to young students.”
“Reminder that oral history and personal stories are worth exploring with our students; Zines can be used in so many different ways!”
“I have never heard of Mamie Tape. Her story definitely added to my knowledge of AAPI. I grew up a few blocks away from the current Spring Valley site and never knew the history. I was enlightened today by her story and appreciate what Mamie Tape and her family did to fight for equal rights and opportunities.”
Three Cantonese-Bilingual teachers applied for and received a $200 grant after attending the TTT. See information on how to apply here.
