Upcoming LEVinar: What Values and Goals Should Provide the Foundation of Our Education System?

In our free webinar on Thursday, September 5th at 12:30 pm, join us for a discussion to identify the values and goals that should provide the foundation for our K-12 education system. If we are going to provide an education where every student feels supported, valued, and has a positive sense of belonging, what values, goals, and expectations do we need to have reflected in our K-12 system?

Panelists include:
