Every Child Has a Story

Every child comes into our classroom with a story. Each of their stories is unique. Their stories define who they are and what they need. As educators, we have the amazing opportunity to help each child grow and thrive as a learner. Because “all learning is social and emotional”, this session will focus on tools, strategies and resources to support social and learning that can be used to help each student flourish and succeed.
