What is TEAS?
The Teachers, EduLeaders, Advocates, and Scholars (TEAS) speaker series is designed to inform your future teaching practices and offer paid professional development opportunities to our Humboldt students. Facilitated by Cal Poly Humboldt’s School of Education, each session topic digs into a best or promising practice related to TK-12 Teaching.
