Two of our star EM-R Roseville teachers, Roberta Hernandez Rasmussen and Maria Le applied and were selected by Education Minnesota’s EMAC (Ethnic Minority Affairs Committee) to attend the NEA Ethinic Caucus Symposisum: A Conference on Human and Civil Rights. The theme was “Analyzing the Intersectionality of Race and Social Justice Issues in Education.” The conference was held in Las, Vegas from June 9th through the 11th. We were able to attend with 5 other Minnesotans from around the state. This was the first time in over 46 years that the NEA ethnic caucuses came together to collaborate, plan andI host an event of this nature.
