Emergent Learning 2012 - A Success!

Thanks so much to everyone who attended Emergent Learning: Turning Tides in 21st Century Education this week.  It was a wonderful, two-day conference that brought together more than 1100 individuals in our region (and beyond!) who care about kids and wanted to learn more about the many ways we can support them - mentally, academicallly, emotionally and socially.

We thought we'd share some of the highlights of our two days together in pictures.  We look forward to seeing you next year!
