Teacher Workshop: Independent School Teaching in the Twenty-First Century

This summer, The Bryn Mawr School will once again be offering an exciting professional development program entitled “Introduction to Independent School Teaching in the Twenty-First Century.”

The purpose of this program is to provide an overview of key elements of independent school teaching for teachers with zero to five years of independent school teaching, and provide formal training that will complement teachers' content knowledge and prepare them to enter the classroom. The program will cover key topics in independent school teaching, beginning with an overview of the most significant challenges facing independent schools in the twenty-first century and the characteristics of successful independent school teaching in an increasingly global, economically competitive, and technologically-rich environment.
