----------Greetings from Teaching 2010 Resistance------------

Many educators have observed that there is a great amount of "Olympic
Spirit" materials available for teachers, but very little to balance the
picture. However, we believe education means presenting balanced information
and supporting critical thinking and the development of active citizens.

This is why Teaching 2010 Resistance has developed a workshop that is
interactive, fun, and based in cooperative learning, in order to examine the
social, environmental, and economic issues associated with the Vancouver
2010 Olympics.   We are willing to present this workshop in classrooms
throughout British Columbia, and are happy to personalize the workshop to
fit the needs, unit topics, and the educational level of every class.
Contact us via e-mail at orn.youth [at] gmail [dot] com to discuss the
possibilities and schedule a workshop with us.

Teaching 2010 is also collaborating to produce easy to use resources and
lessons for teachers to use in their classrooms.  The materials for our
workshop and many other educational activities are available at:

-----Meeting for Educators: October 28th------

This will be a meeting for educational professionals interested in
previewing the workshop, brainstorming possibilities for other activities,
and collaborating in adapting the workshop and other materials for
elementary students.
