To keep the momentum going, new guest teachers are needed. If you are a DBA member, you do not need a teaching license. Denver Public Schools desperately needs nearly 400 substitutes per day and is asking attorney guest teachers to step into the classroom two days per year.

Out of 180 original volunteers, about half have stepped into the classroom so far as guest teachers. Contact DBA’s Meghan Bush at mbush@cobar.org or (303) 824-5303 to spend a day as a guest teacher. We need more volunteers for the dates below because DPS teachers will be attending professional development seminars. Several more 2010 dates will be confirmed soon.

Guest teachers have reported that this training helped them navigate the discipline curve from the start. An optional training, hosted by Denver Public Schools, is on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 7:30–9:30 a.m. at the CBA offices, 1900 Grant St., Suite 900. Please RSVP to lunches@cobar.org Light breakfast served. Parking validation in attached garage will be available.

Thanks for all of the support to everyone who has participated to date. DPS General Counsel John Kechriotis and DBA leadership also want to give a special thanks to those attorneys who have gone into the classroom to guest teach during March to November 2009. These superb volunteers are listed below.
