2025-11-15 08:00 - 13:30 | Zoom
Where is the field of music in special education and the care of students who live in poverty heading in the next 10 years? How can we prepare to be the best teachers possible for our students? What enduring questions remain, and how will we fulfill the promises of an education based in equity and care for all students? As we finish our time together during this virtual symposium, we will also ask each Zoom group to share their questions and responses to provide closure for our day. Register today.
