Breaking Ranks School Showcase

8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Fee - $175 (Team of 3 or more $155)

What better way to learn about best practices in education than through face-to-face discussions with some of the most successful, innovative educators in the country? NASSP and The Center for Secondary School Redesign (CSSR) are proud to team up to present the fourth annual Breaking Ranks School Showcase.

School reform doesn’t happen overnight. Learn first-hand how teams of teachers, administrators, and students from 17 high-performing middle level and high schools planned, implemented, and are sustaining school improvement. On Thursday, March 8, teams from each of the showcase schools will share how they increased student achievement, built leadership capacity, involved parents and community members, developed high performing teacher-led teams that sustain change, and created a learning environment that prepares all students for the challenges of the 21st century. Begin your conference experience by joining in this informal, interactive conversation. You will walk away with learning and teaching tools and techniques that can be adapted to meet the unique needs of any middle level or high school.
