Dr. Rufo is also scheduling keynotes and professional development workshops around this topic. Her uplifting keynote, "Rethinking School: Inclusive Education to Move Us Forward," is a visionary call to action. She challenges educators to take the lessons of the pandemic by closely examining the “old ways,” letting go of practices that don’t serve students, and creating new routines and environments that meet the needs of every learner. This inspiring workshop uses inclusive education as a lever for positive change. Email Jenna at jenna@empoweredschool.org to schedule today.
