[WSCSS] STUDY CANADA Summer Institute promo

[Gary and Robyn Cressman]

Hi WSCSS Educators - It's important to teach beyond borders and, since some
of you will miss the K-12 STUDY CANADA exhibit at the upcoming WSCSS
Leadership Retreat, I wanted to inform all WSCSS members about the special
workshop we host in Vancouver and Whistler, BC called The STUDY CANADA
Summer Institute.  Last year's participants rated the workshop overall as
4.96 on a scale with 5 as the highest possible score! The registration form,
draft agenda, scholarship and detailed information are available online at:
www.k12studycanada.org/scsi/shtml
<blocked::http://www.k12studycanada.org/scsi/shtml> . Please direct
inquiries to me (contact info below). Tina Storer
