* WEA Individual Consultation Appointments: WEA will be hosting individual consultation appointments throughout the day. Please see the sign-up link within the first session, "WEA Member Benefits - Individual Consultation Sign-Up Links". If you sign up for an appointment, please do not select a break-out session during that time. Space is limited in all sessions so we need to be able to account for every seat.
* 5-10 Minute Chair Massages will be taking place from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm in Room 234 courtesy of Tina W. There is no sign-up, just walk-up appointments.
* Parking: There is limited street parking around Central High School. Shuttles will be available from the former K-Mart parking lot to Central.
* Lunch: There will not be lunch offered this year through WWEC. Please feel free to signup to attend the La Crosse Soup session from 11:20-12:50 in the New Commons. Attending this session has a suggested donation of $5. Like a La Crosse SOUP event, $5 will get you a soup lunch and a vote for your favorite pitch. Each middle school will be giving a pitch on a way to better their school or their community. All donations will directly help fund the winning pitch!
This session will explore three La Crosse district teachers' opportunities to study the Hmong people in Thailand and how they translated their experiences into the classroom through the framework of culturally relevant pedagogy. Topics will include the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad grant, the Secret War in Laos, Hmong experiences in Thailand and transition to Wisconsin, current social issues and activism opportunities, as well as resources for teachers at the middle and high school level.
Take Away: Participants will learn a culturally relevant pedagogy model and how it is applied to Hmong culture and history. Teachers will gain resources about Hmong culture and history.
