CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS

 

Leadership for Equity and Excellence: Transforming Education

February 7. 8. 9. 2007

Washington, DC

 

NCCRESt Presents: 

A Forum for Addressing Disproportionality. Plan to join educators,
policy makers, advocacy groups, parents, and community members from
across the United States in Washington DC on February 7th, 8th, and 9th
2007 explore how educational systems can assure equity in educational
outcomes for all students through school improvement, leadership, family
and community partnerships, policy, and teaching.  

 

Our focus for the three days will be sharing current research, best
practices, and tools for transforming educational systems.

 

Session proposals that cover the range of expertise from presentations
of research to presentations of promising practices are welcome.
Proposals can be for presentation/discussions, workshops, panels, and
roundtables or poster presentations. Sessions should be of interest to a
wide range of educators, policy makers, higher education, and
researchers.  We anticipate that one third of the sessions will focus on
current research, while two thirds will highlight best practices and
tools.

 

Strands:  

The following five strands are the focus of all conference
presentations, with multiple possibilities for topics under each strand 

(see next page for possible topics).

*	School Improvement for ALL children 
*	Family and Community Partnerships 
*	Policy to Promote Equity and Eliminate Racism
*	Leadership for Change 
*	Transforming Teaching and Learning
