Join us for what promises to be a great conversation with Justin Reich, Aimee Corrigan and Angela Daniel, the team behind the new documentary film, We Have to Do Something Different, which visits classrooms across the country to see what equitable teaching looks like. The film highlights practices for engaging and connecting with students that teachers can try in their classrooms right away.
