Session Information
The closing session of NECC09 was given by Erin Gruwell - teacher and originator of the Freedom Writers. Her inspiring story of working with seriously at risk students and helping them find their voices was powerful. She has truly made a difference in their lives and they, in turn continue to grow and make a difference themselves. They have not only graduated from high school, but continued on to university and some are helping with the foundation.

Thanks, Susan, for sharing your experience live with us. There is much to explore in what you report. But it will have to wait after the summer holidays. ;-)
