National Conference 2019

On October 23-25, members and partners of the Coalition gathered in San Diego for our 2019 National Conference. Our theme was “Equity in Education.” From the importance of math for our student's’ academic careers to the language we use to describe our school communities, our speakers and presenters challenged us to reflect on how we can continue to strive for equity in education.
