Two rounds of workshops with 11+ diverse sessions have been developed by and for the community\, touching on a broad spectrum of topics to support this goal. There will be additional opportunities to connect over a pizza/salad lunch sponsored by Joan Smothers of Smothers Group /Compass Real Estate. Finally\, a community resource fair will enable attendees to learn about various organizations and support available in our community. Teachers in attendance will be able to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs)\, and ASL as well as Spanish-language interpretation will be made available. \n
