_______________ THE APPALACHIAN TEACHERS' NETWORK _______________ABOUT ATNHow does a teacher incorporate Appalachian or cultural studies into his or her classroom? How does any educator, whatever grade or discipline, encourage students to have pride in their culture, heritage, and home? Such questions the Appalachian Teachers' Network (ATN) strives to answer. As teachers from all levels, K-college, and all disciplines, we believe that students who understand and respect their own heritage will be better people because they will learn to respect themselves, other individuals, and the places they call home. We invite you to join our dialogue. _______________ APPALACHIAN TEACHERS NETWORK Nineteenth Annual Conference Saturday, November 1, 2008 from 8:30-2:30 at Radford University's Selu Conservancy "APPALACHIA AS RESOURCE" with Keynote Speaker:
