Each year, CFE hosts a teacher workshop. Over 60 of our most exemplary grant-winning teachers present workshop sessions, showcasing the projects they completed in their classroom and the impact they achieved on student learning. The event enables teachers to network and share best practices with over 500 of their colleagues across the city while earning Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDUs). Attendees learn tips and methods to help incorporate these innovative teaching strategies and curricular projects into their own classrooms.

2007 Keynote speaker: Robert L. Fried

This year, the 19th Annual Teachers as Leaders and Learners Workshop was held at Whitney Young High School on Saturday, October 6, 2007. Robert L. Fried, Associate Professor of Education at Northeastern University, challenges the high stakes testing model so engrained in the American system of education and reinforced by the No Child Left Behind Act requirements. He is also the author of the critically acclaimed books The Passionate Teacher: A Practical Guide  and The Passionate Learner: How Teachers and Parents Can Help Children Reclaim the Joy of Discovery.
