JEANorCal and SoCalJEA, in conjunction with the Journalism department at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, are sponsoring a teach-in on Jan. 13 for California advisers to share their best scholastic journalism practices.

Attendees are presenting a series of 15 to 60-minute breakout sessions, including new lessons, apps or hacks that enhance teaching journalism, and advising publications or other student media.

All participants, including speakers, must complete the registration form. On Saturday, we’ll have breakout sessions on topics related to 21st-century advising, including diversity, equity and inclusion and Career and Technical Education. Networking and camaraderie will follow on Saturday evening. Attendance certificates will be provided for this professional development opportunity.

Registration is $75, which also includes Saturday lunch. The nearby Hampton Inn has a limited number of special-rate rooms on Friday and Saturday night, so be sure to book early. If local hotels are unavailable during the 3-day weekend, you might want to consider a short-term rental like Vrbo or AirB&B
