This event is intended 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 is a follow-up event to our successful High Schools of the Future conference held in January 2006. Keynote speakers for this full-day conference will include 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 will also include several morning and afternoon breakout sessions consisting of presentations on key reform practices, presented by high school practitioners.

Workshop presentation proposals are being solicited now. For more information about becoming a presenter at this conference, go to http://www.renniecenter.org/events_docs/Call_for_Presenters-final.pdf. Proposals are due by August 31, 2006.
