SUMMARY:Making room for more stories: American Indian family engagement for educators
DESCRIPTION:What stories do we carry into our classrooms—and where did they come from? This interactive virtual workshop will invite educators into a story circle experience centered on American Indian families\, education\, and community engagement.
