The Teaching Commons Conference is a free, in-person event held on campus every Spring that brings together people from across Stanford University around undergraduate and graduate teaching and learning. Here we celebrate, find inspiration, and build connections in a supportive communal space.
Upcoming conference
The Spring Teaching Commons Conference is a full-day, in-person, professional development event where we connect as a community around teaching and learning. The next conference will be held in the spring of 2026.
