For first time attendees the session options can be overwhelming-here is my plan for the day:

9 am AASA Federal Education Update-this is always extremely helpful, interesting, and a bit depressing. It provides some big picture policy and federal budget previews.

10:15 am Room 6D Screening and Discussion the Atlanta Public Schools Story-this is intriguing and focused on some of the unintentional but very harmful impacts of standardized testing.

12:45 pm Knowledge Exchange Theater Trauma Sensitive Teaching: Personalizing Culture

3 pm Room 4 Enhancing Attendance and Equitable Learning Environments

4:15 Keynote Educating the Heart and Soul David Brooks

Have a great day!
