2012 TSJ Curriculum Fair Program & Speakers

by sarah-ji

The 2012 Teaching For Social Justice Curriculum Fair is only a few days away, and we are excited to announce the program schedule and keynote speakers. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Pre-register NOW if you haven't done so already. This will save you time Saturday morning as well as help us avoid a bottleneck during registration.
• Please note the NEW LOCATION! Due to forces out of our control, we had to change the venue to Kenwood Academy H.S. at 5015 S. Blackstone. 
• Take a look at the workshops so you can plan accordingly.
• BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE. We will not be providing plastic bottles of water.

Here is the schedule for the day as well as the keynote speakers and program.
