Taking Charge of Change: Effective Practices to Close Gaps and Raise Achievement

November 4-6, 2010
Arlington, Va.

As the school year ends and planning for next fall begins, mark your calendar to join The Education Trust on November 4-6 for two and a half days of smart, proven strategies to raise achievement and close gaps.

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.

If you’ve never joined us for this special event, check session highlights from the 2009 conference to get a taste of what’s in store in November. Presentations from 2009 National Conference sessions are available here. And mark your calendars for November 4-6, 2010!
