Signing up for Great American Teach-In is now open until 10/25! Link below.
We are excited to announce that the Great American Teach-In (GATI) is coming to CWTES on Tuesday, November 18, 2025!
On this special day, we invite parents, family members, and community professionals to come into our classrooms and share about their careers with our students. This is a wonderful chance for children to see the many paths their future could take and to be inspired by the amazing work happening in our community.
✨ What we’re looking for:
-
Presenters who can talk about their jobs and careers (not hobbies).
-
Age-appropriate presentations, stories, or demonstrations that show students what you do in your work.
-
A variety of speakers from all fields — healthcare, business, education, trades, law enforcement, arts, technology, and more!
We would love to welcome many, many different presenters so our students can learn about the wide world of opportunities ahead of them!
