Looking Back to Look Ahead: What Does the Past Tell Us About our Future? Welcome our 2021 keynote speaker, Robin F. Goodman, Ph. D., A.T .R.-BC, for an exciting address discussing where we are and where we’re headed. COVID-19 has brought the issues of individual and collective trauma and grief into sharp focus. Children, families, medical and mental health providers have all been challenged by feelings of sadness, worry, and a loss of control. Lessons learned from past tragedies and crises will be discussed to inform our resilient path forward. |

Session #2 |
Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity Join John Krownapple, former school administrator and author for this session. Too often, equity implementation reinforces a vicious cycle of failure, largely because the keys to success are missing. Learn how to make equity actionable through the concepts of dignity and belonging. Acquire a proven framework that has helped practitioners get their equity implementation right and create the conditions for every student to thrive. |
