Northwest Teaching for Social Justice Conference get-together
Dear friends,
Please consider submitting a workshop proposal for the 2010 NW Conference on Teaching for Social Justice. The conference is October 2. Workshop proposals are due June 30. The RFP (Request For Proposal) can found on our website website, http://www.nwtsj.org. It can be mailed or emailed.
Because we know that writing workshop proposals can be difficult, Portland Area Rethinking Schools committee members have set up a time to help you write the proposal or narrow your topic or choose which workshop you might want to submit.
Date: June 15, Tuesday
Time: 4:00 -5:30
Place: Jefferson High School, room C-4
Note: Enter on the lower level near the parking lot.
Linda Christensen's cell phone is: 503-502-4379 in case you get confused.
We are looking for teachers, teacher educators, and community activists to present curriculum, information, and resources at our 2010 conference. The workshops will last 1 and a half hours.
Successful workshops will:
Express a social justice perspective
Be hands on and practical
Give participants a chance to talk to one another
We are looking for workshops that balance content and process, where
participants can learn something new and have a chance to discuss & reflect
upon their own experiences and practices.
And if you don't need help, just send in your proposal by June 30.
Linda Christensen
