RESET with Anna Mackey

I'm grateful for the opportunity to present at the Texas Association for Alternative Educators Conference and share my passion for trauma-informed practices. The conversations, questions, and connections made those 45 minutes feel like only a few.

I'm excited to share that I'll be presenting at the National Alternative Education Association Conference!

I'm honored to represent Guinn Special Programs Center, contribute to this community of passionate educators, and share practical, trauma-informed strategies that make a lasting difference. I look forward to learning, connecting, and growing together in Baltimore.

You're still purposeful.

Even when you say...
