Dear COEHD Colleagues, On behalf of the Mexican American Studies program at UTSA, I'd like to cordially invite you to attend our upcoming MAS K-12 Teacher Professional Development Workshop on Saturday, October 12, 2019, from 9a.m.-1:30 p.m. Our workshop will take place at the UTSA Downtown Campus, Durango Building, La Villita Room (1st floor). We're incredibly excited to grow our community of MAS K-12 educators in San Antonio and the state. Given the growing demand for MAS in our public schools, UTSA's MAS program has partnered with education policy and research organizations like IDRA and K-12 educators from our Somos MAS community. We believe that all students have the right to MAS curricula across grade levels, subject areas, and education programs. As such, we've organized these teacher-led workshops to introduce K-12 teachers and community educators to teaching/learning approaches in the field of MAS and provide them with TEKS aligned lesson plans and resources. We're also offering continuing education credits to all participants and will provide breakfast and lunch, as well. I hope you can attend our workshop. We'd also like to invite pre-service teachers from our college to attend, so if you work with any prospective teachers, please encourage them to attend and share our flyer with your teacher contacts. This will be a great opportunity for them to learn more about the importance of MAS in our schools. Muchísimas gracias!
