This year, the Great American Teach-In was observed on November 13th, 2024 in Pinellas, November 20th, 2024 in Pasco County Schools, and November 21st, 2024 in Hillsborough County Schools.

*The request period for educators to schedule a 国产短视频speaker has ended.

The Great American Teach-In (GATI) offers 国产短视频employees a unique opportunity to connect with local schools and share their knowledge, experiences, and passion for education. Building on the resounding success of last year's inaugural coordinated effort, where over 200 国产短视频faculty and staff members generously volunteered their time, our university's employees visited more than 120 schools in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties, reaching over 10,000 local students. As we continue this tradition of community engagement, we are excited to offer you the chance to make a significant impact on students' lives with just one hour of your time. Our goals for this event include:

  • Inspiring students to pursue higher education.
  • Raising awareness about the opportunities available at USF.
  • Strengthening community ties and encouraging active engagement.

Participating Districts: Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco
