NW ASLTA Message

The members of NW ASLTA hope you are having a great fall at school.

This page is for you to use as a resource/tool to keep all of us in the loop on what’s what within our organization and with you. We hope that by networking with our professional support, this will enable us to become more efficient and knowledgeable teachers. To benefit the most out of being a member of NW ASLTA, we strive to encourage all to attend workshops (when available), interact with members/teachers, and share ideas.

Let us know what’s what with you by sending us a small blurb to add to this page. It can be a photo along with what/where you teach and what methods/materials you use for your class. You can also send us educational websites you use for your students (developed by you or someone else is fine) and whatever else you want to share with us.

This page is, also, for you or us to “brag” on what you have achieved.

Please send your submits to KatyBeth Anthony at kbant@yahoo.com and she will add them to this page.
