  • 1.  Session co-presenters

    Posted 08-08-2017 05:19 PM

    Hello Colleagues:

    I am interested in putting together or joining forces for session proposals for next year's conference. I am interested in presenting on the following topics:

    Teen Work force programs and how they work toward greater diversity and equity in our communities and field

     

    Strategic planning for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access

     

    Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Processing Challenges: Field survey and toolkit of resources. Best practices, assessments and best practice in serving the ASD community and enhancing universal design in programs, staffing and training, and tools in resources in museums.

     

     

    Please let me know if you are interested or working in any of these areas and would like to put a session proposal together. Deadline is coming up!

     

    Thank you

    Sandra

    Hi Sandra,
    Pacific Science Center runs several teen programs that fit well within workforce development, specifically Discovery Corps (https://www.pacificsciencecenter.org/discovery-corps/) and our Lake Washington Watershed Internship Program (https://www.pacificsciencecenter.org/lake-washington-watershed-internship/). I would be happy to discuss these with you and see if they are a good fit with your vision for the session.

    best,
    Keni
