They offer workshops and training for teachers on working in a labor-management environment, which includes learning about the interests of both management and labor, conducting a workplace needs analysis, developing curriculum relevant to all in the workplace, and dealing with challenging issues that come up in the classroom, the planning committee and the workplace. They have developed a Workplace Educators' Training Curriculum Manual which should be ready for distribution later this year. Feel free to contact Connie Nelson with questions or if you're interested in ordering a copy of this curriculum.

Do professional developers help teachers learn how to deal with labor issues and workers' rights as part of workforce development, employability, or any other classroom topic? If so, how? If not, why not? Thanks, Eileen _________________________________________________________________ Send instant messages to anyone on your contact list with MSN Messenger 6.0.
