In March the Center participated in the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development conference held in San Francisco. Over 6,000 teachers, principals and school administrators attended the conference, many of which visited our booth to learn how they could keep their schools commercial-free. The conference was very successful and a wonderful opportunity to meet with and educate school officials from across the country. The following month in April, our staff and Board of Directors again set-up our booth for the National School Board Association Conference. We talked to hundreds of school board members from across the country who wanted more information about how they could protect their schools from the negative effects of classroom commercialism. Larry Giacomonio, a high school teacher and a member of the Centers Board of Directors shared the stage with William Rukeyser, founder of Learning in the Real World, in debating Paul Folkener from Channel One. The session was attended by over three hundred school board members, several of whom stood up to expresses their opposition to Channel One. We are grateful for all the positive support we received from everyone at the two conferences. Be sure to look for us next year. |
