California State University, Bakersfield has the honor of hosting a unique day of learning led by teachers, for teachers.
On Friday, July 29, CSUB will host the Better Together: California Teachers Summit. The summit will bring together teachers at nearly 40 locations across the state, including the California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) campus.
The program will feature keynote addresses by education leaders, TED-style EdTalks presented by local teachers, and EDcamp discussions on timely topics such as the California Standards in English/Language Arts and Math and the Next Generation Science Standards.
