This year, Turo Guro updates to high tech while remaining grounded in the humanity that drives education. Our high tech workshops offer pathways to becoming a future-ready teacher by expanding your understanding of the digital world and your skills to discern and decide when to use and take control of available digital tools in the classroom. Our higher humanity sessions allow teachers to recall and reflect on the WHYs and HOWs of teaching, helping them refine their teaching toolbox and equipping them with the necessary skills needed in our ever-changing world.
