The Community College League and the Academic Senate for the California Community Colleges host an annual “California Great Teachers Seminar” each summer to develop strategies for improving teaching and education.

The five-day session includes presentations and small group discussions, and challenges participants to characterize and define the “Great Teacher.”  Participants are asked to prepare and bring the following to the seminar:

 1) a Personally Attempted Innovation – a one-page paper describing a personally attempted innovation or approach related to teaching and learning;

 2) an Encountered Problem – a one-page paper describing a problem in teaching, counseling and student learning that they personally encountered;

 3) a Teaching or Educational Approach, Tool or “Trick of the Trade"  which has enhanced their effectiveness as faculty members;

 4) an Influential Book;

 5) Music and Games for evening socials.
