A Conversation on Personalizing Education                     

Our Wednesday, February 23rd fundraising event at 111 Minna Gallery in downtown San Francisco will feature a panel conversation focusing on the most effective ways to personalize education for our students.

Our list of speakers include:

  • Vicki Abeles: director of Race to Nowhere (www.racetonowhere.com), a critically acclaimed documentary on the darkside of America's achievement culture
  • Dennis Littky: co-founder and co-director of Big Picture Learning (www.bigpicture.org), a nonprofit network of 80 small charter schools across the country that focuses on personalized learning and internships
  • Farb Nivi: founder of Grockit (www.grockit.com), an online test-prep company that offers peer tutoring, professional tutoring, and collaborative games with students studying for the SAT and ACT

The event will provide delicious hors d'oeuvres, desserts, no-host bar, silent auction, and raffle.  Prizes include weekends in Napa and Mendocino, sports luxury suites, and dinners at Bay Area's best restaurants.  VIP tickets include 2 raffle tickets and reserved seating.  All money raised at the event will go to providing free tutoring for low-income students in the Bay Area.  Visit www.tutorpediafoundation.org for more info, or call (415) 948-1585.  See our invitation at http://www.tutorpediafoundation.org/images/foundationevent.jpg.
