NW Teaching for Social Justice Conf. -- propose a workshop

 Dear Portland Area Rethinking Schools friends,

As many of you know, the 3rd annual Northwest Teaching for Social Justice Conference will be held in Portland next October 2. As with our two previous conferences in Seattle and Olympia, we'll have lots of great workshops from educators around the region and displays from social justice organizations. We're delighted that Sonia Nieto will be keynoting. 

I hope that you'll consider proposing a workshop for the conference. Go to our website -- www.nwtsj.org -- for examples of past workshops and to download a proposal to offer a workshop -- click on "Workshop Proposal App." Or use the attached form. Deadline for proposals is June 30.

And, of course, you can also register to attend the conference at www.nwtsj.org.

The conference will be hosted by Portland Area Rethinking Schools, and is sponsored by PARS along Puget Sound Rethinking Schools, Olympia Educators for Social Justice, and Coalition X in Tacoma. Rethinking Schools magazine is a co-sponsor.

Best,

Bill Bigelow
for the Portland Area Rethinking Schools steering committee
