A Call for Teacher Presenters for Teacher Excellence Day

This year, our theme for TED is “Prepare the Way” as we work to help discover connections between our Catholic faith, the mission of Catholic schools, and ethnic and cultural diversity. Some possible ideas:

• Promoting Global Citizenship
• STEM integration
• ESL and ELL
• Artists and musicians from around the world
• Dual Language
• Connections – diversity and social justice
• Religion – Catholic Social Teaching
• Multi-cultural Events
• Social Studies, Literature, Language Arts

Currently, we have 23 terrific presenters who have stepped forward. What a great way to acknowledge the gifts in your teachers and colleagues. Some samplings of what we have received so far:

“GLAD Strategies to Engage all Learners” Marissa Alcorn, St. Brendan
