NYC Workshop Helps Teachers Inspire Solutionaries

What is education for? How can we best prepare our students for the important roles they must play in meeting the challenges of today’s world? These are just a few of the important questions teachers will explore in this day-long workshop co-sponsored by IHE and HEART (Humane Education Advocates Reaching Teachers). The workshop is Saturday, April 28, from 8:30 am - 5 pm in New York City.

This professional development workshop is designed to help teachers bring global ethical issues into the classroom through innovative activities and approaches that enable their students to become conscientious choicemakers and engaged changemakers for a more humane, just, and healthy world. In addition to exploring and discussing the philosophical ramifications of our education system, teachers will gain a toolbox full of practical humane education teaching ideas, from activities about bullying and stereotypes to child labor and animal protection, to exploring environmental issues and the impacts of media.

The cost for the day-long workshop is only $75 through April 13 and $95 thereafter. Scholarships are available.
