Kind Words from our Clients

"Very thought-provoking and so compatible with our own work on Developing Culturally Responsive Educators and on Eliminating Disproportionality! Our experience was so enriched by the new people we met from the national, state, regional and local levels. We had courageous conversations and left the conference feeling very proud of the work of our clients in this challenging area — but with renewed commitment to continue the journey!!!"
