2024-25 Digital Roundtable Series

SSWCA hosts digital roundtables on various topics of interest to secondary school writing and peer tutoring center directors and tutors throughout the year.

All meetings are held on Zoom. As always, our member schools participate in these sessions for free; join or renew your membership here. For the 2024-25 school year, Digital Roundtables are free for all registrants, whether they are SSWCA members or not.

All individuals who want to participate must register ahead of time for each digital roundtable of interest. Space is limited to allow participants to engage in small-group, collaborative discussions. Registered participants are emailed a Zoom link and guiding questions a prior to the digital roundtable. For security reasons, we cannot admit individuals who are not pre-registered, so please ensure the name on your Zoom account matches the name you used to register.

Questions and suggestions for future roundtable discussion topics can be emailed to admin@sswca.org.
