21st Century Teachers Network Now Hiring!
The 21st Century Teachers Network <http://www.21ct.org> is a growing
movement of teacher leaders helping themselves and their colleagues develop

President, is supported by leading education organizations, and is guided
by The McGuffey Project. The McGuffey Project is a non-profit organization
committed to the effective integration of technology in the classroom. We
are looking to hire dynamic leaders to lead this effort and fill these
positions immediately.
