🌟 Honoring 50 Years of Progress in Special Education 🌟




I am proud to have participated in the Golden Foundations: 50 Years of Progress, Advocacy and Access Special Education Symposium. This experience has deepened my commitment to empowering every learner, strengthening inclusive practices, and honoring the vital role educators play in transforming lives.

Attending these sessions—Effective FBAs and Meaningful BMPs, Turning IEPs into Powerful Instruction, Data Collection & Progress Monitoring, Inclusive Practices, Discipline & Gender: One Size Doesn't Fit All, and Think Skill, Not Will—truly reignited my passion for transformative education. Each experience challenged me to see beyond compliance and into the heart of student growth, equity, and empowerment. I walked away with not just tools, but a renewed mindset: to lead with empathy, teach with purpose, and build classrooms that honor every learner’s journey.
