Feed Your Head

There are so many professional TAs trying to make a living in the freewheeling Bay Area that they've organized. Starting in September, Teaching Artists Organized (TAO), a new local service organization, will offer a three-part professional development series in Berkeley, California.

Teaching Artists Organized.

I love the name.

It’s like a wish.
