I. INTERCAMBIO CON ESPAÑA:
(un mensaje de Eduardo
Tobar)
Una maestra de la escuela oficial de idiomas de
Salamanca está interesada en intercambiar
su puesto de
trabajo en el curso 2001-2002 con un/a maestro/a
del
estado de Washington. Los profesores se
intercambiarían el puesto de trabajo pero
no el
salario. Esta profesora también está
dispuesta a
intercambiar coche y apartamento. Los profesores
interesados deben contactarme cuanto antes porque
debemos llegar a un
acuerdo antes de que salga la convocatoria del
próximo
año (esto suele ocurrir en noviembre).
Pueden
contactarme en el (360)
664-2400/etobar@ospi.wednet.edu. Las escuelas
oficiales de idiomas son centros públicos
y gratuitos
donde puede estudiar idiomas cualquier persona
mayor
de14 años. Los estudiantes están
muy motivados y el
ambiente del centro es muy bueno. Esta es una
oportunidad que no podemos dejar escapar.

2) "PREJUDICED, WHO ME?" WSAME 7TH ANNUAL
FALL
CONFERENCE
Bias, prejudice, intolerance, hate. You
may not be
aware of how your conscious and unconscious
preferences influence the decisions you make.
How
prejudiced are you and what can you do about
it? Dr.
Anthony Greenwald, featured this spring on the
Dateline NBC special, "Hate and Violence: No
Simple
Answers," demonstrates and discusses racial bias
testing and shares research findings as this
year's
WSAME Fall Conference keynote speaker.
Whether you work in the schools, on campus, in
private
or public sector business, agencies or other
environments, the implications of this research
on
individuals, organizations and society are profound.
The conference, on Saturday, October 7th, will
be held
at the Seattle Central Community College campus
and
features over 20 workshop sessions, door prizes,
multicultural/diversity vendor resource sales
and four
free clockhours. Advanced registration
