If you are eager to connect with an inspiring network of professionals from a host of backgrounds and organizations, join us.

Background

“It’s crazy how powerful this kind of stuff is! PZ came into my world and I was 20 years into my career ... and my world was completely rocked. I went home teaching a state-mandated course for state-mandated tests—and I was known for high test scores. But I knew I couldn’t be the same teacher as I was before, because I had been challenged.”
