Hi all!! This is going down in two weeks! I would love to see some friendly faces if you can make it by ❤️

There was a time that we were limited to one text because that's what we had access to. Times have changed. We have technology and online resources, so as educators, it's possible to rethink this traditional approach to assigning one text for all. #StudentLed

To the women around the world who support in our mission to help all students access equitable opportunities to learn and reach high expectations, today we celebrate you! Happy #InternationWomensDay
