Hot off the page and onto the stage...Catch the Buzz.

Based entirely on interviews with students, teachers, and school leaders, this new one-woman show weaves a tale of success chronicling the educational struggles and ultimate triumphs of schools, educators, and students who refuse to settle for anything short of real success.

 

 

Ken Story of Just for the Kids California will conduct a session "It’s Not the Data, It’s What You Do With It" on Thursday afternoon featuring California high-performing, high-poverty schools.

Learn best practices of high performing schools as they put data and accountability to work.  Interact with a panel of high performing, high poverty school principals, who will share their proven strategies and evidence of success.  You will also learn about a free, online resource, Just for the Kids-California, that uses accountability data to help schools raise academic achievement and close achievement gaps through benchmarking, site visits and best practices from high performing schools.
