The CSTP Advocacy Training is designed for teachers and other educators to add-to and boost-up the knowledge and skills needed to advocate for positive change at the local, state, and national policy levels. Learn how to transform your expertise into advocacy goals connected to strong, cohesive messages. Develop communication skills to speak so others listen. Strategize about logical entry points in the system to introduce your voice into policy dialogue, and craft a plan to meet your context-specific advocacy goals that support effective teaching and student learning.
The registration deadline is Friday, April 23, 2010. Interested individuals should register early as the training fills up quickly. The cost for the training is $50 per person. This cost includes meals (breakfast & lunch), training venue and materials. Click here to sign up now.
