Diverse Search for Wonderopolis’ America’s WonderYear Adventure

Every now and then I come across info that I think my community should know about. Tons of info gets passed around but somehow the communities of color don't seem to be in the loop. It's my aim to change that. Today I'm sharing info about the Wonderopolis’ America’s Wonder Year Adventure.

You might wonder why I'd want to share info about some search for families and teachers to be on a website. Duh, because I always felt there's not enough images or media example of OUR families on websites! Also this website is specifically on the a hunt for (3) families and (2) teachers from DIVERSE communities across the nation to join the family learning site for a Wonder Year.

I repeat. DIVERSE communities. Meaning BEYOND white. Yup.

Here's more info about the search.

The Wonder Year Adventure is open to the general public.

The chosen Wonder Families and Wonder Teachers will become the voices of Wonderopolis and will contribute to the Wonderopolis community in several ways. Each week, the Wonder Families and Wonder Teachers will share their learning experiences by posting to the blog and igniting a conversation through their posts and responses to the visitors’ comments. Social media will also play a large role in the Wonder Year as families and teachers will promote online and offline events through channels such as Twitter and Facebook.

This is a chance for OUR families to be featured and show how great we are. It's time we started being more proactive in getting our images out on the world wide web.

The deadline for applications is October 22, 2011 so get started applying NOW at http://www.wonderopolis.org/wonderyear
