The Teacher Salary Project, a group of educators and citizens committed to raising teacher salaries in order to improve the quality of education, is having an event in San Francisco on March 23, 2009 from 6:30-8:30. The evening will include clips from the new film of the same name, based on the New York Times best-seller Teachers Have It Easy: The Big Sacrifices and Small Salaries of America’s Teachers by Daniel Moulthrop, Ninive Clements Calegari, and Dave Eggers. In addition to a preview of the film, the evening will include discussion with the directors and producers and sushi from Ichi Catering. Mmmm. Minimum suggested donation is $150. A small price to pay for raising money and consciousness for real social change.
Another incredible opportunity to show your support for students and the people who work hard to prepare them for . . . everything, is quickly approaching at ARL all-time favorite Oliveto. I knew I was in love with Paul Canales, and here’s just one more reason why.
