Next Drop-In: December 27
When: 5pm - 7pm Central
Where: Virtual (Zoom)
This "drop-in office hours" space is set up to support tutors when they need it (and not when they don't.) Tutors can join us each month or just when they have a question or need some ideas.
We'll hold the space for two hours and you can join us at any point in that time.
The sessions are held monthly on the last Wednesday @ 5pm - 7pm Central on Zoom.

If you’re a tutor, teacher, or administrator, the Digital Drop-In is where you can come and practice any digital skill you’re working on - whether it’s sharing your screen on Zoom or learning techniques for more interactive virtual learning - we can help!
The sessions are held monthly on the second Wednesday @ 5pm - 7pm Central on Zoom.

Next General Meeting: December 12
When: 2pm - 3pm Central
Where: Virtual (Zoom)
Adult Ed WAVE (Workers Amplifying Voices for Equity) is a group of teachers, including some who have left teaching, working together to advocate for Adult Education. We love our job and our students but we are frustrated about the working conditions that have led to the so-called "teacher shortage".
