Continuous Improvement Summit

Kentucky Invite 2013
You are invited and encouraged to participate in the AdvancED Kentucky Continuous Improvement Summit: Focus on Best Practice set for September 30 at the Louisville Marriott East.  The event is co-sponsored by the Kentucky Department of Education and AdvancED Kentucky and is scheduled to coincide with the release of state assessment data. 

School and school system leaders are encouraged to join us for this one day gathering designed to:
  • stimulate new energy and enthusiasm  for continuous improvement planning focused on improving student performance and school/school system effectiveness  
  • learn about highly effective schools and school systems (based on TELL Kentucky and performance data) directly from school and school system leaders  
  • engage in conversations about “best practices” that have proven effective in improving student performance and organizational effectiveness (in controlled studies conducted by KDE) led by school and school system practitioners      
  • learn about the September 2013 Kentucky ASSIST™ release and how it can help support and enhance continuous improvement efforts for schools and systems 
  • build capacity to use diagnostic tools and other features of ASSIST to drive improvement in all schools/school systems including those that are already performing well
At the Summit you will have the opportunity to select from a variety of concurrent sessions all focused on raising the level of effectiveness in classrooms, schools and school systems.
Join us as we create a forum to advance innovative and practical strategies leveraging research, best practices and collective abilities. Register now to take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate your craft and effectively deliver the skills today’s students need for tomorrow’s world. Registration for the Summit is $75 per person and includes lunch on site.
