T4CW 8.24.09: Jeff Duncan-Andrade and the 1st Day of School

Jeff really gets into the practical pedagogy of starting off the school year and building relationships with new students and setting priorities for the year ahead. As always we talk about radical teacher networking, identifying allies and building support within schools and communities.

Which leads us to Teachers 4 Social Justice as well: this year's Conference takes place Saturday October 10th from 9-5 at Mission High School • 3750 18th Street, San Francisco

Advance registration and a timely arrival are encouraged--it's always packed--and it's absolutely free of course.

The keynote this year is by Dr. Pedro Noguera, who has also been a guest on T4CW:
