We are bringing together many of the top experts throughout the country to focus on STEAM which includes increasing real-world applications in the curriculum and Equity & Inclusion which will help participants learn how to proactively foster, develop and support the social and emotional well-being of all community members. In addition, we will offer sessions in the areas of best practices in Pedagogy & Assessment which will incorporate what we now know about the brain.
