School Improvement Network (SINET) is excited to announce the first ever School Improvement Innovation Summit to be held July 11-13, 2011 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Summit attendees will learn how to use professional development as a key instrument to improve student, teacher, school, and district performance. They also will have the chance to participate in ongoing dialogues on changes, issues, and solutions, and learn about advanced uses of PD 360 and other partner products.
PD 360 is the leading online, on-demand professional development for teachers and administrators with over 700,000 educators learning, sharing and collaborating best practices. Now, SINET is bringing that same rich content to the School Improvement Innovation Summit. With keynote sessions from Michael Fullan, Curtis Linton, and even a special virtual keynote from Heidi Hayes Jacobs, participants will have the opportunity to collaborate and engage with top experts and thought leaders as they learn how to move their system to the highest levels of achievement.
In addition to the keynote sessions from some of educations leading experts, Summit participants will also hear from John Covington, Superintendent of Kansas City Schools, and Mary Esselman, Executive Director of Assessment and Professional Development for the Kansas City, Missouri School District, on how to transform an entire district, and Ms. Esselman will also address issues and solutions for teacher evaluation.
We want to provide a venue and an atmosphere of collaboration where educators, thought leaders and experts can come together and engage in conversation about how they can make the greatest impact on student achievement in their school systems, said CEO, Chet Linton.
