We're having a busy Saturday at the Training Fund--it's our annual Welcome Back, a day to both celebrate and prepare for the new school year, with hundreds of instructors on site from Florida to Manhattan. We just finished listening to our keynote speaker, Steve Garnett, discuss cognitive load theory--an understanding of the human brain's processing power and an instructor's ability to maximize it.

We look forward to welcoming our students back to class in a few days! And no, it is not too late to register for classes. Go to www.32bjmemberportal.org or call us at 888-284-3225.
