"We were truly honored to share our passion on a national stage. Our presentation highlighted the ways our students are served through considerate collaboration and purposeful intervention that addresses the whole child: honoring their home language and culture while thoughtfully meeting their special education needs. To speak about this work in that space, among educators from across the country, was both humbling and energizing."
