Recharging Schools: Addressing the Holistic Needs of Children

The mission of this year’s conference is to foster a comprehensive discussion about
the interdisciplinary challenges facing students and schools.

In particular, we hope to create a space for invited speakers, students, and the Greater Philadelphia community to engage in dialogue on education challenges, possibilities,
and their implications for us all.

The conference draws upon various perspectives from experts in education, health, psychology, race studies, and public policy to discuss ways to collectively improve the holistic outcomes of children.
