December 1, Morning Session
| 8:30AM - 11:30AM | Results Now!
Dr. Mike Schmoker
In Results Now, Mike Schmoker presents a provocative critique of “business as usual” in American education. His candid assessment of conventional practice and his persuasive arguments for specific reforms can lead to creating schools where all students can achieve at high levels. He sets out a clear but simple agenda to transform American schools and lays down the most important challenge of the decade, not only to those involved in education but for every citizen: Will we choose to enter an era of unprecedented effectiveness or hold on to secure sameness? Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to hear from the best selling author of The Results Fieldbook: Practical Strategies from Dramatically-Improved Schools and Results: the Key to Continuous School Improvement. |
