We kicked off our 2016-17 season of EDTalks with a discussion on demographic data - how the demographics of Minnesota and the metro area have changed over time, and what these changes mean for our communities and our classrooms.

Ruth Hamberg, Engagement Specialist from MinnesotaCompass presented "Who Is Minnesota" and gave us a foundation of our community's demographics. KaYing Yang, Policy Director for the Coalition for Asian American Leaders, discussed "Who Are We Talking About? The Importance of Disaggregating Data" and how digging deeper in to data sets can help communities advocate for equity. Javier Morillo was our emcee for the evening.
