Educators unite for a day of collaboration and learning

Twenty two passionate teachers from across the nation joined the Student Reporting Labs team for an inspiring day of professional development workshops. These educators, who traveled from as far as Alaska, Florida and everywhere in between, came with one goal in mind: to learn new ways to engage and educate the next generation of journalists.
