The non-profit news organization Chalkbeat presents The Great American Teach-Off. This event will highlight a key part of the story of education in America: the dynamic work of teachers. Inspired by live-format shows that celebrate the hidden craftsmanship in other professions — think “Top Chef" — the event will feature two teams teaching a math lesson before a panel of teacher judges and a cheering audience. You’ll leave with an inside look at what teaching really takes.
