This virtual conference focuses on providing perspectives on what paraprofessionals can do through the framework of Culturize by Jimmy Casas. Using these transformational pillars of behavior showcased below, each of the sessions will apply perspectives on how to meet the 4 Core Values of the Culturize framework and put them into action in your schools through the lens of paraprofessionals.
