PHILOSOPHY IN THE SCHOOLS
SUMMER TEACHER TRAINING WORKSHOP
June 28-29
at the University of Washington Department of Philosophy
This 1.5 day workshop given by the NW Center for Philosophy for Children at the University of Washington is open to teachers interested in exploring how introducing philosophy in their K-12 classrooms can enrich and enhance student learning. Participants will learn about the history and methods of philosophy for children, and will engage in philosophical discussions on topics such as: “What can we know? What makes something right or wrong? Are we free? What is a mind? How do we define happiness?”
Funded by the Squire Family Foundation, the workshop is free of charge, including 11 clock hours, materials, refreshments, lunch on the second day, and parking. To register, please send a brief statement of interest, teaching history (grades/subjects taught, school affiliation), and contact information (phone/email) to NW Center Director Jana Mohr Lone at info@philosophyforchildren.org by June 1.
For more information, contact us at info@philosophyforchildren.org or 206-221-6297.
