It’s big news, I know. The New Teacher Center (NTC) at the University of California, Santa Cruz is releasing a new cost-benefit report on teacher retention at a Senate policy lunch tomorrow, October 23rd. Senator Jack Reed (Rhode Island) will attend. The briefing will take place in G-11 Dirksen from 11:45 am to 1 PM and lunch will be provided. Space is limited. To RSVP, contact AliciaL@ucsc.edu or 831-459-1305 or Dara Barlin at 646-391-1984 ( dbarlin@ucsc.edu). Yours truly is moderating -- no one else must have been available! No, that’s not me in the picture, but I wish I had the t-shirt. I would wear it to the event, for sure. To add gravity and seriousness.
