*Keynote address: El Power of Our Students' Testimonios
In order for students to leverage all that they are and all that they can be, they must engage in critical self-reflection from a young age. Testimonios are integral to this process. As educators, we must continue to leverage the cultural and linguistic gifts that students bring into the classroom. Participants in this session, through the use of the Testimonio Framework, will engage in activities that empower the diverse student communities they serve.
