Theme
The annual New England Educational Opportunity Programs is excited to have its annual conference on April 10-12 at the Double Tree Hotel in Burlington, VT. This conference will focus on Empowering Learners. The conference will focus on providing opportunities for our professionals to fill their toolboxes with tools to empower students of all ages to be the best they can be. This would encompass tools to support students being ready to learn, self-advocacy, and using their resources to support learning and mental well-being.
