DESCRIPTION:October 27 Dr. Esther S. Friedman\nWhat Can We Learn from Listening to Kids?

Drawing on both her research and her years as a classroom educator\, Esther will also share practical approaches for eliciting children's perspectives in ways that move beyond simply asking\, "What do you like?"
