Opening Plenary: Take Charge of Change: Effective Practices to Close Gaps and Raise Achievement
Ed Trust President Kati Haycock will take us where the newest data goes, helping us to better understand achievement patterns for different groups of students and the practices that can change them. Visit the states, schools, and districts of leaders who have taken charge of change, and learn what is working for them—and what isn’t. Hear about teachers who have transformed what they do in their classrooms with stunning results. Kati also will talk candidly about the practices that we haven’t effectively confronted yet.
Honest, practical, and inspirational, this session will get this year’s conference off to a fast start and remind you why you aren’t “Waiting for Superman,” either.
