Our first conference- "Lessons Learned: Gap Closing Strategies from California's High-Performing Classrooms, Schools and Districts" - showcases the work of leaders whose classrooms, schools and districts have demonstrated proven plans, strategies or practices which are meeting old and new challenges head-on. The conference will provide a forum for meaningful conversation- both to exchange ideas and answer questions specific to your experiences - so that you can turn useful information into effective action back home. Lessons Learned offers the opportunity to learn directly from stakeholders who are hammering home results: * Teachers from high-performing Classrooms that consistently make higher learning gains; * Students from high-poverty schools who understand the dynamics and benefits of a school culture of high expectations for ALL; * Leaders from high-performing Schools that are quickly improving to close gaps between groups and getting higher achievement from all students, especially their low-income students and students of color; * Leaders from Districts that have made rapid leaps in raising achievement and narrowing gaps, including finalists and the winner of the prestigious Broad Prize for Urban Education; * Districts and Schools that enroll their students in a rigorous college ready curriculum core at greater rates, or prepare all students to access and succeed in a college ready curriculum upon entry to high school; and * Districts, Higher Education and Policymakers that are making strides in closing the teacher quality gap among low-income and high-minority schools and districts; and * Parents who participate in the planning and implementing of the school improvement process.
