** CALL FOR PROPOSALS **
4th ANNUAL EDUCATING FOR CHANGE CURRICULUM FAIR
DEFINING DEMOCRACY
Attached is a call for proposals and a flier for presenters for the 4th Annual Educating for Change Curriculum Fair, Saturday, September 27th, 2008 from 9 am - 3 pm at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, Marillac Hall. The event is sponsored by the Literacy for Social Justice Group, The Dean’s Committee on Social Justice of the College of Education, UMSL, The Literacy Roundtable and LIFT.
The theme of this year’s fair is ” Defining Democracy.” Please consider submitting a proposal for either a workshop or table display. We are encouraging people to submit table displays as we will have a limited number of workshops. The proposal form is attached and it is very simple to fill out — a brief description, your contact information and a title for the program. This is a great way to let people know about your work and/or the initiatives of your organization/group and to get feedback. We have included sample proposals with the call for proposals.
This year we are planning an exciting program including featured speaker, Dr. Kevin Kumashiro who is the Director of the Center for Anti-Oppressive Education.
Proposals are due August 20th. See the attachment for more information.
Please distribute this announcement and flyer to your colleagues.
The call for proposals and flyers can also be downloaded from our website:
