I joined Dr. Mel’s cohort right as my school year began. It gave me the energy, tools, and joy I needed to continue striving to humanize an often dehumanizing system. I highly recommend it to any educator who wants to build better connections with those around them and within themselves. —District Leader, Portland, OR
