Program Information:
It’s been said by many that Civic Education is the bedrock of democracy. Given all of the political unrest these days, do you often wonder how K-12 schools are handling government and civics instruction in classrooms? And how might we support this challenge? You’ll hear an update on current legislation and interviews with area teachers, plus a summary of significant LWV Voter Services Committee work that is now occurring in area schools. Kathie Tyser and Chris Haskell–both LWV members and retired educators/administrators in La Crosse–will facilitate the session, allowing some time for discussion about ideas for the future.

Speakers:
Chris Haskell was a public-school teacher for 35 years. Those years were spent teaching high school English and ESL in elementary, middle and high school. She also served as the District ESL Coordinator for the La Crosse Public Schools.

Kathy Tyser worked in various levels of public education for 36 years as a teacher and administrator, retiring in 2008 as Associate Superintendent for La Crosse Public Schools.

We hope you can attend!
