This event was designed to help school and district leaders develop next steps in high school redesign and to help improve the state's graduation and college readiness rates. This conference was a follow-up event to our successful High Schools of the Future conference held in January 2006. Keynote speakers for this full-day conference included Pedro Noguera, professor in the Steinhardt School of Education at New York University and Olivia Ifill-Lynch, Director of Professional Learning for the School Redesign Network at Stanford University. The day also included several morning and afternoon breakout sessions consisting of presentations on key reform practices, presented by high school practitioners.
