*** CSRA RESA, courtesy of Dianne Griffin, has begun a new type of teacher collaboration opportunity called "CoffeeEDU." The first of these sessions will be held at the Harlem Java House on Saturday, August 25th from 9:30-10:30AM. Coffee is not free but the discussion will be rich and you will meet some new educator friends in the process!
