Our Birch educators gathered for our Annual Education Professional Day, centered around this year’s theme: Learning That Leads. The day brought staff from across our schools together to connect, learn, and strengthen the strategies that help our students thrive. We were also honored to welcome @EricDinowitzNYC , a former educator himself, as our keynote speaker. He spoke about the importance of the work being done at Birch and how he continues to support educators through his role on the City Council. #BirchFamilyServices #LearningThatLeads #BirchEducators #SpecialEducation #Birch50
