With the economy – and in particular, the job market – looking murky,
many adults – hundreds of thousands, in fact – are going back to school.

Some local teachers from the Brooklyn Diocese were among the many
educators who became students this past weekend. It wasn’t class
time, though – it was the fifth annual “Celebration of Teaching and
Learning.”

Sponsored by local PBS station Channel 13, it was a series of speakers
and discussions that showed teachers new ways of reaching students
that go beyond textbooks.

It all took place at the Hilton New York in Midtown Manhattan, and we
were there.
