Reinforcing Our Commitment to Foster Inclusive Learning Environments

In light of recent events that have stirred the hearts of our national community, we believe that the need to join forces to draw attention to the devastating effects of racism in America has never been greater. We must commit our resolve to working for solutions, especially when it comes to creating inclusive learning environments for our nation’s youth. We invite you to view these selected NAGC resources on meeting the academic, social, and emotional needs of all children.
