A local bookstore will host an event on Sunday that will provide an opportunity to learn more about how students can achieve their goals in public schools.
People for Progressive Public Education and the Santa Monica-Malibu Classroom Teachers Association will hold the event at Midnight Special Bookstore, 1450 2nd St., from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The discussion will be led by Susan Ohanian, an author and educator. A longtime teacher, Ohanian is a leader in the national resistance to standards and high stake testing.
Susan’s Web site (http:/www.susanohanian.org) received the National Council of Teachers of English George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language.
