We will also have keynote speakers who represent our work in
America’s
Choice schools.
The America’s Choice 2009 Success by Design National Conference will be February 5 – 7 at the Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando. Pre-Conference sessions will be February 3 and 4.
Our conference is an exciting
opportunity to review research, examine best practices, and share ideas with
educators from across the country. You’ll leave the conference with a renewed
commitment to the important work you do to educate children—and the work we do
together.
The conference includes outstanding keynote speakers. It also features large-group and half-day
sessions on topics such as English language learners, literacy, mathematics,
science, school leadership, assessment, and special education. More than 50
breakout sessions are part of the program.
The meals and receptions that
occur during the conference provide time to create informal networks and learn
what is happening in other schools and districts. You can share your success
stories as well as your challenges.
Throughout the conference
center, student work exhibits illustrate standards-based work and communicate
the excitement the students find in learning.
