Engaging all Families
"I only see the parents I don't need to see" has become a common statement made by CRLS educators. In this workshop, participants will learn about the importance of engaging all families, the role of the educator, and then talk about how they can connect with hard to-reach families in traditional and nontraditional ways. If we are ever to achieve equity, family engagement must be the responsibility of all.

Masks Off
Talking through Bias It is important to speak our biases and work through them, instead of being told how to think, feel, and act, without exploring why we think, feel, and act the way that we do. In this 6-dimensional interactive workshop we will give voice to our biases, work through lively scenarios and engage in conversations that separate fact from fiction and get to the root of issues at hand.
