Welcome from the Conference Director, Stephanie West-Puckett Last year’s conference, The Diversity of 21st Century Teaching and Learning, highlighted the challenges that exist and opportunities that present themselves when we work to adapt our teaching practices to the needs of both individual students and our connected world. There’s no doubt that as educators, we are being asked more and more frequently to serve a multiplicity of interests, originating on the local, regional and national levels, interests that sometimes conflict or diverge. Considering the current landscape of uncertainty that we teach in, we invite you join us in thinking about convergences, the places where we, as educators, achieve traction and arrive at Common Ground--the shared intellectual, physical, and virtual spaces that empower us to overcome social and bureaucratic obstacles to realize the transformative power of language, literacy, and learning. SWP
