Participants will be engaged in ensuring a positive school environment that embodies respect and inclusivity.

I thought this was a great class! This was my first copilot class and I got a lot out of it. The book was very interesting and the discussion was thought provoking.

Great class. I have studied poverty before but not from this perspective. The instructor was helpful and her comments gave me great feedback on my own thoughts. Two thumbs up!
