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.”<br>
