The Great American Teach-In (GATI) is a special annual event where parents, family members, and community professionals are invited into our classrooms to share their careers, talents, and life experiences with students. It’s a unique opportunity for students to learn directly from the people who bring real-world knowledge into the school setting, broadening their understanding of professions, industries, hobbies, and skills while connecting classroom learning to everyday life.

Whether you choose to talk about your career path, demonstrate a special skill, or share an area of expertise, your presentation will inspire students to think about their own future goals and possibilities. Presentations can be as simple as a classroom discussion or as interactive as a hands-on activity, the format is completely up to you.

By participating in the Great American Teach-In, you will be making a meaningful impact on our students while highlighting the value of community involvement in education.
