CAFÉ Update March 20, 2023
20 March 2023I came across an interesting quotation this week:
"Who dares to teach must never cease to learn"
John Dana Cotton
As someone who has spent the majority of her career in the educational world, I thought that this statement brought meaning to what CAFÉ has attempted to be all these many years: a Center for Lifelong Learning” helping professional educators with their ongoing education and passion to continue learning.
To that end, CAFÉ seeks to help chefs and chef educators not only keep up to date with industry trends but also to share and learn from one another to be professional teachers.
How do we do this?
- The monthly issue of “The Gold Medal Classroom”
- The bi-monthly podcasts
- The latest research in Culinary Education Best Practices
- Our webinars and YouTube channel with demonstrations
We urge you to participate; we urge you to “never cease learning” and we urge you to apply for Awards that recognize your efforts.
We promise you that we (CAFÉ) will never cease to learn from you and for you.
All the best, Mary Petersen
