2026 Transformative Teaching Conference
The Center for Transformative Teaching at Crystal Springs Uplands School is currently accepting applications for the Transformative Teaching Conference 2026 (TTC), which will be held in Belmont, CA, on March 21, 2026.
The 2026 TTC Executive Committee is seeking teachers, innovators, moderators, panels, and thought leaders to submit proposals for presentations.
This year's theme, Human in the Loop, centers on the critical intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in education. We aim to explore how educators can leverage emerging technologies, particularly AI, to create more equitable, inclusive, and effective learning environments, while always prioritizing the essential role of human connection, empathy, and critical thinking.
