Are you a teacher? Do you ever wonder how best to reach out to and involve families whose children are learning English? Are you curious about engaging students from diverse cultures in the most respectful and effective manner?

Join 2018 Washington State Teacher of the Year Mandy Manning for a “Powerful Strategies for Newcomers” interactive two-hour workshop on Wednesday, March 21.  The workshop will be held from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in the Knox Administrative Center Board Room, 1113 Legion Way SE, Olympia.

During this workshop, educators will learn strategies for involving newcomers’ families in their ELL education, strengthening ties between schools and the communities they serve, and culturally responsive classroom practices that work for everyone.  To learn more about Mandy and her work, see the flier adjacent to this blog post.
