The April 25th conference will consist of a morning plenary and two sets of roundtable discussions, which will be open to participants. The roundtable discussions will include the following issues: How can participatory research or education within a union or community group be an organizing tool? How can you make an education program participatory? How can an organization or union set up and fun an education or research program among its members? How can popular education and participatory research methods be applied to ESL and literacy classes? How can workers' rights be taught within ESL & literacy programs? The Friday conference will be followed by workshop on April 26th. The workshop will be tailored for English as a Second Language instructors interested in writing immigrant workers' rights curriculum based on student experience. It will be led by Gail Weinstein, author of the widely used and recognized Collaborations ESL instruction series, and editor of the Center for Labor Research and Education's new ESL and Workers' Rights curriculum.
