    ~ UFT United Federation of Teachers A Union of Professionals February 2011 Dear UFf Members, When was the last time you attended a truly fulfilling and inspirational professional development session? When was the last time you attended one alongside 10,000 colleagues in the education world, from all 50 states and beyond? Ifyou've been to the Celebration ofTeaching & Learning, held annually in New York City over the past five years, we hope you've experienced the profound impact that such an experience can have on your role as a professional educator. UFT has been proud to sponsor this conference from the beginning because ofthe value we believe it brings our members, particularly through collaboration. At the Celebration, it's not unusual for a Kindergarten teacher and a chiefstate school officer to be sitting together in a plenary session, or to have a middle school principal and an Advanced Placement physics teacher listening to the same panel discussion. The Celebration is a conference designed to honor the teaching profession and to provide opportunities for renewing passion and creativity. It offers plenty of practical workshops - how to use a SMART board, for example, or a session on math for English Language Learners - but there are also sessions that offer more than the standard fare. How often does a teacher interested in adolescent literacy get to sit in a session not only with the acclaimed author Walter Dean Myers, but with Mr. Myers and the teenager who has just co-authored a new novel with him? What might it mean for a U.S.

    Basil Paterson Recalled As Wise Man of Labor - The Chief: Ne... http://thechiefleader.com/news/news_of_the_week/basil-paterso... Basil Paterson Recalled As Wise Man of Labor By RICHARD STEIER | Posted: Monday, April 21, 2014 5:15 pm Basil A. Paterson, perhaps best known as a powerhouse in Harlem politics whose son David became New York’s first black Governor, was remembered following his death at 87 April 17 by union leaders as a mentor and bargaining counsel who combined wisdom and calm to great advantage. “Basil Paterson was the rare individual who knew how to talk to people, he knew what to say to people and he also knew when to say it,” said Teamsters Local 237 President Gregory Floyd. ‘Taught Us So Much’ American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, who retained Mr. Paterson as outside labor counsel for the United Federation of Teachers upon becoming its president in 1997 and continued to seek his advice when she moved on to the AFT 12 years later, described him as “always being a consigliere in the truest sense of the word.” Referring to her counterpart at the city’s giant health-care union, Local 1199 of the Service Employees International Union, she said, “Both George Gresham and I always say he taught us so much.” One of the most potent arrows in Mr. Paterson’s quiver was his sense of diplomacy. In 2006, he was thrust into a difficult spot when, following a three-day transit strike the previous December, the rank and file of Transport Workers Union Local 100 voted down the wage contract that ended the walkout by just seven votes out of more than 22,000 cast.
