In Good Company: Brokaw...Dreyfuss...Kreutzberger
Celebration of Teaching and Learning Conference
This spring, the UnConvention Center on NYC’s Pier 94 will become the fairgrounds for very important festivities—The Celebration of Teaching and Learning, presented by Public Broadcasting Stations “thirteen” and “WLIW21,” in partnership with regional BOCES, including Nassau BOCES. The weekend-long celebration, which takes place on Saturday, March 24, and Sunday, March 25, will feature television newsman Tom Brokaw and renowned actor Richard Dreyfuss, along with a host of educational experts and 300 exhibition booths. The educational celebration doesn’t end on Sunday night, however. The Nassau BOCES Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Technology will conduct a series of day-long workshops led by Marvin Kreutzberger from July 5 to 7, covering Instructional Strategies to Improve Student Math Performance
The conference will be 2 full days, Friday and Saturday, March 24 and 25, so there are opportunities to include coaches, teachers as well as media specialists and administrators. We can accommodate up to 3,500 educators each day for the professional development piece of the Celebration, and the cost is $180 per person per day to participate.
We will be presenting multiple professional development strands covering a range of topics, including literacy; math; social studies; high school reform; leadership; differentiating instruction, and other pressing educational issues. All topics will be addressed from the perspective of a media and technology integration, and will feature nationally renowned educational experts and local providers offering keynotes and hands-on workshops.

Hello from Florida

Blog Challenged Me
It has only taken me a month to get here. First, my name was rejected, then cyberidiot
sent me to an old blog that Marvin had created and abandoned, then my name, no matter
which way I entered it, was rejected again. It's been a hejira, but here I am.
Love hearing from everyone. Many, most, or all of you receieved my email with all my
Florida info. Jerry and I arrived here on Tuesday, 1/10. We are in the same apartment
as last year. Dave was kind enough to pick us up at the airport, while Corinne waited for the arrival of our very packed car from home and prepared a delicious lunch for us all. They both look terrific. Actually, this year the car arrived on schedule and we are comfortably ensconced in our digs . We expected this part of Florida to look devasted from the hurricane, but while
there are signs of it having visited here, it looks pretty normal.
I wish I had more exciting news, like Tia. Life here is warmer (altho for the last 2 nites it
was in the 30s), very relaxing, that is if you don't read the papers, or listen to or watch the
news. But that's for another time. My email is the same as in NY, pbarell@verizon.net
Love to you all,
Nanny Phyllis
