The Philadelphia Teachers' Learning Cooperative (PTLC) TeacherSPACE is a teacher center welcoming teachers and parents in Philadelphia to network, share ideas, and collect resources in a creative environment. We are committed to developing our teaching and inviting others to share resources in order to support Philadelphia students’ creative voices, academic engagement, and emerging leadership.
We invite you to experience TeacherSPACE
on Thursday, August 30, 2007 from 4:00-7:00.
As you prepare your classroom for the new school year...
-share ideas with colleagues from across the city
-join in a make and take session centered around community building activities
-peruse the lending library of cross curricular resources
We don’t even think about this as a workshop… It’s an inspirationshop!
