Today’s national leadership has made education a top priority, highlighting the need to prepare America’s students to successfully compete in the global economy. THIRTEEN & WLIW21, New York’s flagship public television stations, have hosted a professional development event where over 8,500 educators from all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada come together to help shape the future of our schools.

Celebration 2010 will feature exciting special guests including Lisa Henson (on Early Childhood Education), Steve Spangler (on STEM), and Keith Devlin (on STEM).

The Chase Multimedia in the Classroom projects are collaborations between teachers and students showing how they can use technology to creatively enhance their learning experiences.

It’s hard to believe that March 5-6, 2010, will mark our fifth annual Celebration of Teaching & Learning! We’ve learned a lot over these years, and thanks to our Advisory Board and our partners, the Celebration has become one of the country’s premier professional development conferences.

We thank these organizations for providing promotional support for the event.

Sponsors play a vital role in our ability to undertake ambitious educational projects like the Celebration. Public television has a mandate to educate, and we depend on our sponsors to help us accomplish this mission.

The Celebration will be held on March 6th & 7th, 2009. The Celebration begins at approximately 8:00am and ends at around 5:00pm.

The Celebration professional development conference is CoSer-aidable through BOCES and the NY State Education Department (NYSED). To qualify, districts/schools must register attendees through their local BOCES contact.
