Hear a story of hope from former classroom teacher and award-winning author Jonathan Friesen. Tourette Syndrome and OCD filled his childhood with anger and ostracism, but Jonathan ultimately was freed to achieve his dreams. From his unique perspective, he’ll show how to go beyond classroom management and discover the power of “heart management” to transform learning climate. Learn two questions that children with special needs are really asking, questions that educators and service providers cannot ignore.
