How can districts lift struggling schools? Across the education world, people are grappling with this crucial question. In this session, district leaders can learn from key players behind innovative efforts in Charlotte-Mecklenburg that show early promise. This North Carolina district has developed the Strategic Staffing Initiative, a three-year plan for school transformation that taps proven principals, fields teams for change, removes poor performing teachers, and builds in bonus incentives. Principals get the freedom to try out innovative practices, but remain answerable for student performance.

Presenters: Ann Clark, chief academic officer, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Charlotte, N.C.; Suzanne Gimenez, principal, Devonshire Elementary School, Charlotte, N.C.; Jonathan Travers, director, Education Resource Strategies, Inc., Watertown, Mass.
