I am a high school photo teacher who would like to meet up with peers to establish a greater Secondary Ed presence in SPE. Looking forward to getting to know other H.S. teachers and working to help more of our students matriculate to college photo programs.
Is it possible to showcase high school student’s work in this or future regional conferences?

Hi Christopher,
Regarding showing high school student work at conferences: This is absolutely of interest. You will need to prepare a proposal – as all panels/speakers are peer-reviewed. It is too late for this year (proposals were due on the 18th), but perhaps you will meet some other high school teachers at the ‘meet-up’ and suggest a panel on this subject for next year.
Hey high school teachers! One suggestion to discuss is perhaps forming a “caucus” at the national level for more outreach for Highschool Instructors as well as community. Some examples of this already are:
Caucuses
Multicultural
The Multicultural Caucus’ purpose is to facilitate the investigation of multicultural imagemakers and image making in regional, national, and international contexts; to act as an arena for the discussion of particular cultural issues by people of diverse cultural backgrounds; to confront the visual, social and political issues that arise from these discussions, with integrity, honesty and justice. Everyone is welcome to attend.
The Women’s Caucus is committed to the advancement of women in the profession of photography and photographic education and to the advancement of women’s issues in the exhibition, discussion and teaching of image making. All women of SPE are encouraged to attend the Women’s Caucus organizational meetings.
Call for Women’s Caucus histories: The WC has a rich and vibrant history that we do not want to see lost as we move forward with revitalized energy and focus. If you know pieces of the WC history or have stories that you would like to share with the newer members, please let us know! We are in the planning stages of a website and we would love to be able to post not just our current and future activities, but a bit of our colorful past as well.
