NJEF: Neurodivergence Part 1 (May 15, 2024)

Three incredible community members share about their journeys in neurodivergence, first as kids who needed support and understanding, and then as adults who provide their students with that support and understanding. Join Charon Henning, Libby VanWhye, John Muir Laws, and the Nature Journal Educator’s Forum for this deeply meaningful conversation. (Forum session of 15 May 2024)
