The theme of this year's Summit is "Success in School: Everyone's Responsibility, Every Child's Right".

Sessions are planned for teachers and other practitioners, state directors, assessment teams, researchers, administrators, and parents of English language learners. We strongly encourage you to make participation in this year?s Summit a priority. A block of rooms has been set aside at the Hilton Washington for Summit attendees. Rooms will be charged at the prevailing government rate at the time the reservation is made. Through October 1, 2003, those rates are set at $150 single, $170 double, and $20 per additional person for standard rooms. The rates are exclusive of appropriate state and local taxes, currently 14.5%. One night's deposit will be required at the time your reservation is made.
