Professional Development Workshops
The Outreach Center offers a series of five secondary and two elementary workshops led by Wildwood administration and faculty who have many years of experience in innovative teaching and learning. The workshops take place at either Wildwood’s Elementary Campus at 12201 Washington Place, Los Angeles, CA 90066 or Wildwood’s Secondary Campus, 11811 Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064. Schools or school districts can contract any of our workshops with a minimum of 40 people and workshop can be custom-designed to fit the school or school district’s needs. Contracted workshops can be done at Wildwood or at the school site.
