Dear Educator Friends,
We kicked off this week with either a celebration of Columbus Day or of Indigenous Peoples Day. For those of you whose schools were in session, I'd love to hear how you honor and educate about these subjects. Viewpoint diversity is a key tenant of what we are about at BRI, and I hope you'll share with me how you encourage this in your classrooms.
As we approach the middle of the semester, our programming is in full swing and we as a staff are so excited that we'll have the opportunity to see so many of you in our seminars and colloquia over the next few weeks. We look forward to seeing those of you we already know again and to making new acquaintances of those of you who will be joining us for the first time.
