2023 – 2024 Educator Review Panel
Beyond Differences is pleased to announce our 2023-2024 Educator Review Panel is underway!
Teachers, counselors and administrators from across the United States will be convening throughout the school year to provide feedback for us on our Social Emotional Learning lessons and professional development training. We’re grateful for every partner we have in the effort to end social isolation and create cultures of belonging for middle school students.
Meet our ERP members who have combined over 165 years of experience in education!
