Event Details
The conference and the hotel are sold out.
This conference is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education and is intended for participants from State Departments of Education, LEAs, and schools involved in School Turnaround.
This Eastern regional conference, one of four events sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education in partnership with its network of regional comprehensive centers, is designed to support School Improvement Grant (SIG) implementation efforts in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, West Virginia, and Washington, DC.
Focused on building the capacity of state education agencies (SEAs), local education agencies (LEAs), and leaders of SIG schools, the conference will include keynote presentations, extended breakout sessions, role-alike discussions, and state-specific meetings that provide opportunities for participants to:
- Develop a stronger knowledge base about research and evidence-based strategies for turning around low-performing schools, and leave with practical strategies and tools.
- Gain a deeper understanding of key roles that state, district, and school leaders should play in supporting school turnaround efforts.
- Gain a better understanding of state and regional needs and issues around supporting school turnaround efforts.
- Form new supportive relationships and strengthen existing ones, as we work together to improve educational outcomes for our most at-risk students and schools.
