[WSCSS] Fall In-service Registration

[Gary and Robyn Cressman]

The Washington State Council for the Social Studies Fall In-Service is fast
approaching!  It is being held on Sat., 10.10., @ Edmonds-Woodway High
School from 8.00am-2.00pm.  The theme of this year's conference is
"Adventures in Learning Near at Hand & Distant Lands." There will be many
opportunities for adventure in the sessions and in learning from our keynote
speaker Helen Thayer.



Helen Thayer is an adventurer in the truest sense of the word. She has
challenged her will and her limits as she has explored the North, becoming
the first woman to walk and ski to the magnetic north pole. She has lived
for an extended period of time among wolves. She has walked, the LONG way,
across the Gobi Desert. From each of these adventures she has written books
chronicling her experience. In addition she has developed "Adventure
Classroom" where she brings the people, places, and adventure back to your
classroom. She has been featured on "Travel with Rick Steves" on NPR and is
truly an engaging and inspiring speaker.



In addition to an amazing keynote speaker, the fall in-service will have a
wealth of breakout sessions about specific topics and grade levels. The
presentations give you the chance to get a close look at the latest
resources and proven methods. Many of the breakout sessions are linking
their presentations to the CBAs to help teachers more effectively implement
the CBAs in their classrooms.



This conference is one that you must attend, and bring a friend! By bringing
a friend you cover twice the sessions and have someone to bounce ideas off
of that you gained at the conference. It is also a great place to meet other
dedicated Social Studies professionals.
