What? A two-day workshop to form a knowledge community, experience arts-based storytelling, learn, create, and plan.
When? Arrive Aug 6. Workshop Aug 7-8.
Where? Madison, WI. Teachers will be providing local hotel lodging. The workshop will take place in our beautiful School of Education building.
Why? We believe that collaboration is key to supporting teachers in trying and implementing new methods. We know that experiencing something first-hand is an effective way to learn. We value the stories of newcomers in schools and want to ensure they have a platform to be heard.
