The 9th Annual ISNA Education Forum concluded on March
23 in Chicago. This year’s forum focused on identifying tools that
educators can use in promoting a positive school climate, in

The power point presentations, hands-on workshops and
handouts maximized the benefit of attendee’s participation. The
participants received a booklet containing all the presentations.
