Two Professional Development Events

Here are two upcoming professional development events that may be of interest to you. 


- First is the 4th Annual Northwest Conference on Teaching for Social Justice, being held on October 1st at Chief Sealth High School. It is a great regional conference that consists mainly of K-12 teachers sharing classroom practices that focus on justice and the politics of equity in teaching. Several editors of Rethinking Schools will be in attendance and giving workshops.  The keynote is Karen Lewis, head of the Chicago teachers union (who last year won a progressive slate of union leadership). 
Get more information and register here .

- Second is Michael Apple coming to give a talk at UW Bothell on the evening of October 17th. As you likely know, Apple has been one of the leading critical scholars in education for 40 years now. This should be a nice opportunity to engage in some discussion about the current politics of education.
