Saturday seminars
The Saturday Seminars have a broad range of professional development offerings for educators. The seminars provide the opportunity to learn research-based teaching techniques and strategies from a variety of dedicated professionals. Presenters are carefully chosen to provide practical and purposeful information that directly relates to the classroom and student learning. The seminars also provide networking opportunities. Afternoon sessions are organized by grade level and subject, and are guided by experienced facilitators.
Participation in the Saint Mary’s College Saturday Seminars is limited to educators who are in the employ of one of our partner districts. Program registration is coordinated with each partner district and each registration must be confirmed by the district prior to being accepted by Saint Mary’s College
