New Orleans Teacher Meet-Up: Rare Artifacts and Stories in the Classroom

Join Emily Glankler for dinner, drinks, & discussion on teaching with artifacts from the Doris Stone Latin American Library.

Education can be a lonely field so let's get together to build community, eat/drink/commiserate, and discuss how to incorporate stories (both fictional and factual) into our lessons!

Dinner, drinks, and a small gift are included! All teachers and educational professionals are welcome but the discussion will be focused primarily on history and social studies topics.

 

Gran Fiesta
