The keynote speakers were amazing. Dr. (Karyn) Lewis…her research was really enlightening and supports everything we’ve been trying to do at my school.

I think this is the most informative conference I’ve ever attended (and I’ve attended A LOT!). I have so many things to share and implement with my staff! I feel I have “upped” my MAP IQ by leaps and bounds. Thank you!
