NEA ESP Conference 2019 - Christine Ronan, Riverglen JH
I loved the camaraderie and positive vibes from the conference, but the concepts discussed in the racial justice and trauma sessions were, while very essential, quite sobering. In contrast, there were also instances when the excitement in the building was nearly palpable. Even though my spring break was not as restful as it could have been, I returned home both inspired and energized; greeting my students and colleagues with a new-found understanding and a few more tools in my belt.
If you or anyone you know is considering an opportunity to attend a conference in the future, I highly recommend it and may even be able to assist in writing a grant to fund your journey!
