A national and international expert, author and educator, led the discussion at a Thursday evening keynote and Friday workshop for educators and those who work with impoverished youth.

Rawlinson grew up in poverty, and since 1997 has been sharing her ideas and insight with educators and other professionals to help them understand minds shaped by poverty and how it can affect academic achievement and behavior.
