Workshop will focus on creating success
Volume 12, Issue 6 - March 2008
CTA’s Institute for Teaching is hosting a major workshop titled “Closing the Achievement Gap by Understanding the Culture of Success,” which will be held May 16-17 in Sacramento.
The workshop will focus on innovative, solution-oriented approaches to closing the achievement gap for minority students, and will bring together leading experts to examine key factors driving a culture of success.
Attendees will learn about what can be done to encourage practical solutions to improve schools; find out why the testing obsession is causing greater harm than good for students; engage school community stakeholders on issues that really matter to teachers; find out how student dropouts are costing public schools millions of dollars; examine why school policies need to move from deficits to assets; elevate the role that all school community stakeholders can play in improving schools; hold conversations that focus on the underlying, fundamental problems facing teachers; and learn how teachers as change leaders can transform public schools.
