Join us June 22–24, 2010, in Orlando, Fla., to hear about ways to improve learning, teaching, and leading in your schools and districts from experts such as Robert J. Marzano, Carol Ann Tomlinson, Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe, and Heidi Hayes Jacobs.
- Differentiated instruction, a systematic approach to ensuring that every student is learning, regardless of interests, learning styles, or readiness for school.
- The Understanding by Design® framework for designing a curriculum based on achieving student understanding of content.
- The What Works in Schools® research-based approach to focusing your entire school or district on the school-, teacher-, and student-level factors that influence achievement.
- Curriculum mapping, a way to document and analyze what exactly is being taught and when according to the actual school calendar.
Also, don't miss the Pre-Conference Institutes on Monday, June 21, from 8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. You can choose from the topics of "The Differentiated School: Making Revolutionary Changes in Teaching and Learning," "Promoting Success for All Learners Using the Art and Science of Teaching," and "School-Improvement Planning and Understanding by Design: The Power of Collaboration."
