- On the way home from the Annual Pennsylvania State Chapter CEA Conference, I stopped and had lunch at a rest stop on the PA Turnpike. When I checked YouTube, an interview with a filmmaker popped up. A short film about Dante Coluccio’s Music Theory Class at Garden State Correctional Facility was nominated for the Best Short Film at the Garden State Film Festival!
- Dante was the 2021 Teacher of the Year for the New Jersey Chapter of the Correctional Education Association. Congratulations to Dante and his students for all of your hard work, dedication, and talent!
