WSCSS Winter K-8 Conference
February 2, 2019 at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma
Who Will Tell Your Story?
In this time of divisiveness how do we hear each other? Who speaks for marginalized groups? How can we understand each other?
Reaching out to students of underrepresented groups is one of the important functions of educators in classrooms. This program will focus on ways of doing that with greater understanding. Who will tell your story?
Highlights of the day include:
Sondra Segunda Cunningham - Haida author and artist
Dori Yang - Author of The Forbidden Temptation of Baseball
Tony Jonas - Working with Densho interviews
Patty Shelton and Nancy Lenihan - New Guidelines for Washington Social Studies
Professor Turan Kayaoglu - Muslims in America
Regina Ferguson - Broadview Buddies
Patty Shelton and Amber Anderson - Celilo Falls Curriculum
Speakers from the Mockingbird Society representing homeless youth
