Leveraging the strong partnership between educators, administrators, parents, and students, the DCD Connects Initiative will offer up insights, tools, and ideas to help us build the scaffolding that supports the development of emotionally intelligent, resilient, happy young adults.

The 13th-century poet-philosopher Rumi once said: "Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment." Sally will discuss the importance and necessity of fueling curiosity in education as a means to understanding and considering the world around us.
