Take ideas.


Draw strategies from extraordinarily high-performing elementary, middle, and high schools from across the country to help speed change in your school. Pick from a robust assortment of educator-led sessions designed for schools and districts like yours. Pull powerful ideas from others to serve your own change efforts.


Take inspiration.


Celebrate inspiring success stories from high-poverty, high-minority schools where all students soar. Surround yourself with educators who, like you, believe the question is not whether we can take charge of change and raise achievement for all, but how we can do it faster. Share your ideas. Share your passion. Renew your resolve.


Take charge.


Return home with new ideas and strategies to take charge of change—from the classroom to the school building to the state board to the statehouse—and steer your schools and districts on a path to excellence for all.


This November: Take Charge of Change.

History Comes Alive: The School Writing Fair
Hunting for time to teach history—on top of high-stakes math and reading standards? George Hall Elementary School in Mobile, Ala., a 2009 winner of the Dispelling the Myth award, shares its solution: a writing fair that draws its themes from social studies. In this year-end project, a hallway timeline runs from 1607 to the present, kids take Internet field trips, fifth-graders pose as Uncle Sam or Rosie the Riveter, and student writing papers the corridors.
