This conference is intended for leaders in state and regional agencies, school districts, schools, and colleges of education. The conference supports participants’ learning with essential readings on the central themes of the conference (distributed in advance), keynote presentations, question-and-answer sessions with presenters, and small group interactions with colleagues.
