SWREC News & Announcements
There is always something new happening in the education department. It is our job to help you stay on top of administrative processes so you can do what you do best—educate.
You're invited to join a focus group and influence policy solutions meant to strengthen pathways for future Native educators. These 90-minute conversations will take place virtually via Zoom meetings between May 17 and 26. Participants will receive a $100 gift card in honor of their time and suggestions. For more information, check out our Lift Your Voice flyer or contact Austin Hawk. Register online today!

We select participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. You are welcome to register for multiple trainings. We will be in contact with more information once we receive your registration.

This convening will allow educators to connect with literacy leaders from across the state and nation as we highlight the critical role of literacy and the science of reading across all content areas. This convening will equip participants with the intellectual tools they need to develop a critical, reflective stance towards their own teaching and learning.
