Fresno State will co-host the “Better Together: California Teachers Summit” 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Friday, July 31 in the North Gym 118.

During the event about 400 preK-12 teachers will convene in a statewide effort to help them learn from each other, share best practices in implementing the new California Standards and celebrate their work.

The free event is being held at 33 locations across the state in a California State University partnership with the New Teacher Center and the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities and its member institutions. Fresno State’s Kremen School of Education and Human Development is coordinating the local event.

All California teachers, teacher candidates and school administrators are invited to participate. Registration is available online at www.cateacherssummit.com. The initiative is supported by $3.5 million in grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
