Washington state Teachers of Year share what students need for the start of the 2022-23 school year

 

Now that the 2021-22 school year is in the history books, the League of Education Voters Field team is deep in planning mode to expand community engagement across Washington state and begin interviews to inform our 2023 legislative platform. And our Policy Team is working to uplift student voice, develop a long-term strategy to address inequities in education funding, and provide technical assistance to statewide partners.

 

We hope you can join us on July 7 for a free webinar featuring Washington state Teachers of the Year, who will share what they are hearing from students, parents, and colleagues in their community about what students need in preparation for the start of 2022-23.

 

Our Annual Event happens on October 13th at Block 41 in Seattle (and on Zoom) to celebrate the power of student voice. We will honor students who inspire us, such as graduating senior Ivy Pete from North Central High School in Spokane. The event is in Seattle and will include lunch, plus plenty of inspiration. We also will have an online option for folks around the state. And you can be part of it!

We are looking for volunteers to help us. Tasks include:

  • Helping with procurement of silent auction items (vacation spots, experiences, etc). This could be done on the phone or by email.
  • Helping find sponsors for the event (also could be done by email).

If you would like to volunteer, please reply to this email. Thanks for considering!
