[WSCSS] 2009 Legislative Scholar Program - Washington State Legislature

[Linser, William D]

________________________________

The Washington State Legislature is pleased to announce that we are offering the Legislative Scholars Program again this summer. A flier and application are attached and more information can be found on the website: http://www1.leg.wa.gov/legislature/scholarprogram <http://www1.leg.wa.gov/legislature/scholarprogram> . 
 
The Legislative Scholars Program offers elementary/middle/high school social studies, government, history and civics teachers an interactive experience where they will gain an inside view of the legislative process. Teachers will meet with members, staff, and guest speakers and will bring back lesson plans that help meet civics CBAs. Teachers also have the option to return to Olympia during the 2010 legislative session to observe and possibly shadow a legislator.
 
July 13-16, 2009
Olympia
 
The application is due by June 30, 2009. Teachers are responsible for their own food, lodging, and transportation expenses for the program. 
 
Please contact either me or Judi Best if you have questions.
