We've been putting together the agenda for this year's Northwest Teaching for Social Justice Conference, and it looks great. Many highlights. The brilliant anti-racist educator Enid Lee will keynote this year's conference, speaking on "Disrupting Systems of Racism in Our Districts, Schools, and Classrooms." We recently added Rethinking Schools editor Stan Karp to the program. Stan will be speaking on "Surviving School Reform: When the Reformers Come to Town."

Topics include slam poetry, climate change, "Who Rules the Schools?" talking about skin color with young children, "Latinos in Action," disability advocacy, "Queering Elementary Education," teaching social justice to children of privilege, organizing against standardized
