I am fortunate to be a part of a group of teachers from around the United States, and the world even (a U.S. military base teacher here from Japan). The National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the Landmarks of American Culture Workshop. Last evening, we met at Red Lion Hotel on the River in my hometown in Spokane, WA. An icebreaking exercise with our represented states was a wonderful way to allow every teacher in the room a chance to speak. Things that I found interesting thus far are: 1) science teachers, social studies teachers, librarians, and literature teachers all in the same room, 2) the overall impact and connection of people to nuclear issues around the world, 3) nearly two-thirds of the participants are men, and 4) teachers are teachers. This program is a week long action packed opportunity in 100 degrees in Richland and the Tri-Cities.
