State Superintendent's PK-16 Institute on Service-Learning and Citizenship

The 2006 State Superintendent's PK-16 Institute on Service-Learning and Citizenship, in conjunction with the Dialogues with Democracy Conference, will be held February 2, 2006 at the Marriott West in Madison. Julie Rodriguez Chavez, granddaughter of late civil rights and farm labor leader, Cesar Chavez, will deliver the keynote presentation.

This year's conference will encourage participants to examine
service-learning through the lens of developing a participatory democracy. Topics include key issues and opportunities faced by educators and students, integrating high quality service-learning into the curriculum, and assessment practices. This conference draws participants who are new to service-learning, as well as many who have worked in the field for several years.

WEAC is providing scholarships to the first 100 WEAC members to register at http://www.regonline.com/Checkin.asp?EventId=86094. Other scholarships are available for Social Studies teachers and K-12 students. See the DPI website at http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/fscp/slupdate.html for details.

We are very excited to have secured Julie Chavez as our keynote speaker, and would like to get this information out to educators leaders throughout the state.

Thank you very much for your help!
