* 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 is a session based around 2 Teaching Tolerance Resources. Attendees will receive a crash course and practice time in having conversations about hate and bias with coworkers and with students in the classroom. Participants should plan to bring an iPad or computer as there will be access to some different websites and resources at the end of the presentation.
Take Away: Attendees will learn concrete strategies for having conversations about hate and bias with coworkers and students. I will also be providing links (and hopefully hard copies) of Teaching Tolerance materials and other websites that are helpful in the fight against hate and bias.
