Mark your calendars and tell your colleagues about:
The 19th Education Trust National Conference!
November 13-15, 2008
Marriott Crystal Gateway, Arlington, Virginia
It’s Up To Us: Going the Distance to Close Gaps and Raise Achievement for All
Join us for three action-packed days of gap closing, strategy sharing and spirit lifting.
Connect with like-minded colleagues from across the country rising to the same challenges we all face.
Swap strategies, steal good ideas and learn about bold,
cutting-edge efforts – from schools to state houses – that pay off in big gains for kids.
If you are passionate about closing the gap and getting all students to achieve at high levels,
this is the one conference you don’t want to miss.
But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what educators, advocates and others have had to say about this event:
______________________________
“Because of EdTrust’s hard work and data, this conference gives hope to many educators who are committed to providing the best education possible for students of poverty and color.” – 2007 attendee
“I loved this conference (my first with EdTrust). I was really inspired and motivated once again to take action for equity for all students.” – 2007 attendee
“I was able to learn how other schools are closing the GAP – the strategies and interventions they shared were very helpful. It reinforced the fact that we are on the right track in helping our students achieve and learn at the advanced level.” – 2007 attendee
“I haven't stopped talking about the conference. It was my first EdTrust Conference. It was so uplifting to learn that low-performing schools can become high-performing ones. I am working with a community here in Alabama and hope that we will realize similar results. Thank you for such wonderful data and presenters.” – 2006 attendee
