THE
BRITISH ARE COMIN'...

To
CLEVELAND, OH & JACKSON, MS
February 16 - 20,
2004 |
Excitement builds with
the announcement that our British colleagues from the Haringey
District in London will be travel to the United
States soon to spend a week in Cornerstone schools in Cleveland and
Jackson. Please don't feel slighted if your school is not a
British destination. Because of the specific interests our visitors
have, Cornerstone urban schools in Jackson and Cleveland were thought
to be the appropriate destinations. British teachers will arrive
on the weekend before to enjoy the cultural and geographic highlights
of their host cities. They will begin school on Tuesday in Cleveland
and on Monday for parent/teacher conferences in Jackson. It is bound
to be a memory-making week for all! More news later! |

significant news stories, and interesting conversation about advancements
in teacher leadership. Also included are resources that all education
leaders can put to use in their daily work, e.g., mentoring, cutting-edge
staff development, best instructional practices and more. Visit them
