(Jen is also a new member of the State Board of Education.) They reflect on their personal challenges, the importance of community support, and the relentless pursuit of ensuring their children's right to dream big. Together, they delve into the need for better family engagement, sharing practical advice and hopes for policy. Carrie and Jen explore systemic barriers, the emotional toll of advocacy, and the critical need for inclusive practices in education. Rooted in WA is produced by Roots of Inclusion (rootsofinclusion.org) with support from the WA Statewide Family Engagement Center (https://wasfec.org).
