Building Innovative Partnerships for Student Success: The Key to America’s Future
This year we celebrate partnerships because they are at the heart of the community schools approach— bringing schools, families, community residents, higher education and an array of other community partners together around a common result—student success.
Innovation is the word of the day in education reform. Community schools are an innovation that is turning around student performance …enabling them to graduate from high school ready for careers, college, and citizenship. Attaining this goal is vital to the future for our nation.
Who should attend? National and local government leaders, school and district leaders, teachers, community-based organization leaders, community school site coordinators, local policymakers, civic-minded organizations, higher education, lead partners, intermediaries, parents and youth.
Keynote Speakers Invited
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius
