California Adviser Teach-in Will Return to Cal Poly

Advisers listen to a presentation at the 2025 California Teach-In at Cal Poly SLO on Jan. 13, 2024.

JEANC, SCJEA and the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Journalism Department will host California high school media advisers at the Adviser Teach-in on Jan. 18, 2025. 

"Building Journalism" is the 2025 theme, and we'd love to have you as part of our program. Have something fresh and new you're using in your classroom? Have your students discovered new tools to create content for publications? What strategies or best practices do you want to share about teaching and advising scholastic journalism? We're especially interested in topics centered on DEI issues and how to build a more inclusive program, and/or how to diversify your content and reach underserved populations.

Propose a 30-minute or 50-minute session here! We would love to have you speak at our 2025 event. Note that all participants, including speakers, must be registered attendees and are required to fill out the registration form.  

The Teach-In will be a day filled with professional development from advisers and journalism professionals, networking and lunch. Interested in presenting a session? Complete the speaker form here by 11:59 p.m. Dec. 1. Note that all participants, including speakers, must register and are required to complete this registration form.

Teach-in registration is $75. Please note that billing/invoices will come from JEANC, and all payments will be made to JEANC. We will send you an invoice via email in December.
