The 2010 Great American Teach-In, part of Pinellas County Schools’ American Education Week celebration, is Thursday, Nov. 18, at various schools throughout the county.
In its 17th year, the Teach-In continues to surprise, delight and educate the district’s students with its wide array of topics. Teach-In has become one of the most anticipated events of the entire school year. Approximately 15,000 volunteer presenters are expected this year.
Since 1994, participants have given presentations on everything from archeology to yoga. In those years, a total of 68,687 volunteers gave 179,525 presentations in Pinellas County’s public schools. They’ve come in costume, brought their equipment, put on plays, offered potentially life-saving information, performed magic, showed off their pets, demonstrated sports, discussed career options, shared precious souvenirs, performed songs and dances, and cooked delicious meals. I will visit my grandson's class and discuss insurance.
