This class will be taught by Cinda Johnson, Ed.D of Seattle University. Per diem and mileage will be paid. We are working to find special hotel rates and encourage "buddiying-up" for teachers from the same region. There will be new and expanded material this year including a discussion on High Schools That Work and how GRADS fits into that paradigm, which we are told will be required for ALL high schools in 2007 - so if you attended before, still COME. If you have already signed up for the class ignore this notice.
