Evolución 2026 Breakout Session Spotlight! 🐝🧡

Step into a meaningful conversation on Family Engagement during one of our Evolución 2026 breakout sessions.

This session will invite educators and leaders to reflect on what it truly means to build authentic partnerships with families, challenge assumptions, and create spaces where every family feels welcomed, valued, and heard.

Through storytelling and reflection, participants will explore the moments that transform family-school relationships and leave with ideas they can bring back to their own communities.

Come ready to listen, reflect, and learn from one another.
