Thank you so much for joining us at the conference. Here are some of the
references we’ve found useful for challenging ourselves to learn and grow and work
toward an optimal learning environment for all students. These are “jumping off
points”, and not in any way a conclusive list. Please feel encouraged to share your
discoveries, both positive and troubling with us, so that we might continue this
journey together!
