Connected Educator Month 2014: October

 

http://connectededucators.org/announcing-cem-2014/

Originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education and its partners as part of the Connected Educators initiative, Connected Educator Month offers highly distributed, diverse and engaging activities to educators at all levels, with the ultimate goal of getting more educators more connected, spurring collaboration and innovation in the space.

To help CEM continue to scale, the U.S. Department of Education is distributing the event’s management out to the connected community, led by the American Institutes of Research (AIR), Grunwald Associates (GA), and Powerful Learning Practice (PLP). This core team will further push out leadership for elements of the celebration to other groups, and empower individual educators to take ownership in a variety of ways as well.
