Hi everyone!

Sorry I missed you all at CUE this past weekend! I heard everything was amazing! Hope you are all well doing well.

I wanted to touch base about a very exciting event that PBS SoCal is planning this May called the Teacher Town Hall.

We will be taping a Teacher Town Hall for broadcast on May 8th at the Grammy Museum. The Town Hall will be an "all-educator" conversation about factors surrounding and solutions to the dropout crisis. I thought that this might be something you or a classroom teacher you know would want to be a part of.

We are currently looking for great teachers to be engaging members of the audience. I included some more details below and the registration link.
All registrants must be classroom teachers. If you are not in the classroom, I would ask that you share this with an educator or two in your district. We only have a small number of spots at this event and the audience will need to geographically represent all of Southern California so choose a couple fantastic candidates! Please also be sure to share with a diverse section of teachers that would be comfortable speaking on television and being part of a studio audience.

Let me know if you have any questions. I am extremely excited about the Town Hall and would LOVE if some of you could attend. It should prove to be a unique opportunity to amplify teacher voices.


Thanks!
Jamie Annunzio
PBS SoCaL, Director of Education


Teacher Town Hall Details
There has been a lot of talk and media attention about how to address the high school dropout crisis in America. We believe it is time to give teachers a voice. PBS SoCal, KLCS, and KVCR are hosting a televised Teacher Town Hall, sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We want to capture your perspective and amplify your voice as a teacher. This will be an opportunity to engage in a conversation around the factors that affect high school graduation rates. We hope you will join us for this very special evening.

Date: May, 8, 2012
Time: 4:00 PM
Location: The Grammy Museum at L.A. LIVE 800 West Olympic Boulevard  Los Angeles, CA 90015

This is so cool!


'Course, I have to be your special assistant in order to be there, but I volunteer to do that!


I will send the info to some of our great teachers. Thanks so much for the opportunity to do this.


Miss you at CUE!
