The pandemic has been a challenge for all of us. For well over a year, disrupted lives and routines have been the norm. Yet so many of us have persisted and survived! We’ve found new and creative ways to help ourselves and others!  This virtual conference highlighted the resilience that educators, parents, and students have shown in the face of adversity and offers suggestions for re-charging our “resilience batteries” as we move forward.  You can view all of the conference recordings through the links below. Featured presenters for the day include Pete Hall, co-author of the book Fostering Resilient Learners, and Elena Aguilar, author of the book Onward:  Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators.
