[WSCSS] FOCUSING ON EAST ASIA AND CBA'S - Educator Workshop on 2/26/2008

[Sarah Lin Bhatia]

FOCUSING ON EAST ASIA AND CBA'S
K-12 Educator Workshop
February 26, 2008, 5:00 - 8:00 pm
University of Washington, Seattle, WA


Are you a little intimidated by Classroom Based Assessments (CBA's), but want to learn more? Join the University of Washington's East Asia Resource Center for a fun and accessible East Asia-focused look at CBA's. Participants will play with the "Humans and the Environment" CBA; learn about suitable CBA's for East Asia-related topics; discuss questions, processes, and concerns relating to CBA's; and more! The evening will conclude with an introduction to the CBA-aligned Civil Liberties curriculum unit about Japanese American internment during World War II. Presenters Patricia Burleson, master teacher and Director of Japan Connections, and Lisa Carlson, teacher-librarian at the Tyee Educational Complex, will render CBA's less intimidating through hands-on activities, engaging presentations, and lively discussion. Although the workshop focuses on East Asia, many of the ideas presented can be applied more broadly.

REGISTER: The cost of registration is $25.00, which includes three Washington State clock hours, dinner, and resource materials. Register online at: http://jsis.washington.edu/earc.
