Closing achievement gaps for all students is hard work. But it can be done! The Education Trust National Conference is one where you’ll be among hundreds of other educators, advocates, parents, and policymakers who not only believe all students can achieve at high levels, but are doing the work it takes and achieving success for their students.

This year, in addition to the latest closing gaps update from our own founder and president, Kati Haycock, plenary speakers will include Dr. Charles Payne, a professor at the University of Chicago and author of So Much Reform, So Little Change, and a past acting executive director of the Woodlawn Children’s Promise Community. We will announce and honor the 2012 Dispelling the Myth Award winners, and feature presentations by previous DTM-winning schools. Our dynamic set of concurrent sessions, table talks, and workshops will provide practical strategies for raising achievement for all students, pre-kindergarten through college, giving you the opportunity to get your questions answered by the people who are doing the work successfully every day.

So, if you, too, are committed to preparing all students for college and career, there’s no place else to be Nov 8 and 9.

What to Expect

At the conference, you will:

• Learn from inspiring national leaders in the gap-closing movement
• Explore innovative yet proven techniques for elevating student achievement
• Network and discuss best practices with colleagues from across the nation

The Education Trust—West invites you to join our “Diploma Matters" webinar on Tuesday, March 6th from 1:00-2:00 pm Pacific Standard Time to learn how districts and schools can ensure all students have the choice to attend college. Dr. Linda Murray, former Superintendent of San Jose Unified School District and author of the book Diploma Matters: A Field Guide for College and Career Readiness (2011), will highlight the challenges and successes she encountered in San Jose to increase college eligibility with a diverse student population. Webinar participants will learn about the process and tools Dr. Murray developed at ETW to expose and then eliminate barriers to college preparation (Educational Opportunity Audit and Blueprint Process), and about opportunities to work with ETW and our organizational partners to support the goal of increasing college readiness and success for all students.

Are the leaders of successful high-poverty and high-minority schools superheroes? If so, we can safely ignore them — after all, who really aspires to be Superman or Wonder Woman? Instead, maybe these principals know some things and do some things that the rest of us need to understand and emulate.

This fascinating series of six, one-hour webinars is made possible through generous support from the Wallace Foundation, allowing the Education Trust to offer it to the public at no charge. The free series starts Thursday, Oct. 20, 4 p.m., and continues through March 2012.
