Thirteen’s 2012 Celebration of Teaching and Learning Draws Educators from Across U.S.
By Mary Frost
Everyone who was anyone in the field of education made a point of being at the New York Hilton this past weekend.
Chelsea Clinton was there, moderating a panel about retaining great teachers; Sal Khan was there, speaking about his wildly popular online Khan Academy. Other luminaries in the house included author Wes Moore; “Science Guy” Steve Spangler; NYC Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott, Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr.; AFT President Randi Weingarten— and the Fonz, Henry Winkler, now a children’s author.
