This year’s keynote will be a powerful merging of performance and personal storytelling. We’re extremely grateful to these individuals for sharing their art and personal stories of the how the high-stakes testing craze is affecting them: students, parents, teachers, and administrators. We will hear how people from different locations are facing of these systems through organizing, resisting, and visioning alternatives!
