We would like to call to your attention our next national event – the 2007 Model Schools Conference, scheduled for June 30 – July 3 in Washington, DC.

More information on the Model Schools Conference can be found on the Conference website at www.modelschoolsconference.com.

The best high schools in America do not attribute their success to one defining initiative or program but rather to a consistent and unrelenting build up of activity system-wide that eventually resulted in breakthrough performance at the high school. To ensure that all students are prepared for success in their lives beyond school, the middle grades must be made part of the broader secondary school reinvention movement.

The School Reinvention Symposium for Grades 6-12 will:

• Show what successful reinvention looks like in different types of high schools and in the middle grades.
• Provide in-depth analysis of the unifying components and characteristics found in all types of successful high schools and all types of middle level configurations.
• Help you and your leadership team to think through and develop a process to move from a traditional school to one that is highly effective for all students.

Panel discussions by representatives of diverse successful middle level and high school models

Presentations on middle level/high school collaboration strategies and change theory

In-depth discussions of the characteristics of successful schools and how to adapt their best practices, where appropriate, in your school

Quality time with national school reform leaders
