Upcoming Events
Register Today: 2014 Urban Sites Network Conference in Chicago April 25-26<http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/events/697>
Education—along with other social supports—is being attacked, narrowed, and de-funded. This impacts all children, not only but especially those in urban schools. Join colleagues in Chicago to find out how we can tell our individual and collective stories, and think strategically and thoughtfully on how to inform the public and policy-makers about our work and our students. Featured speakers will include Sonia Nieto, Brian D. Schultz, and Lila Leff. More ›<http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/events/697>
