Celebration of Teaching came about organically at Teachers College in response to students’ calls for less theoretical and more hands-on, content-based strategies directed toward serving English Language Learners (ELLs). During the CoT conference, innovative and exploratory practice is encouraged, as participants look for new ways to address age-old and new challenges faced by teachers and learners in schools today. Because our organization greatly values cooperative practice, this event provides participants with many opportunities to develop networks with peers at Teachers College and potential colleagues from the community, which will serve as helpful resource in language learning classrooms.
