Showcase – Stories from the Field

In these sessions, participating school districts will be asked to share exemplary practices. The sessions are hour-long smaller group workshops broadcast live over the Internet. They feature interactive panels and presentations by real school practitioners—you—on what works in your districts. The workshops provide opportunities to recognize exemplary practice, network, and share the kind of great work that is improving learning for students.

There will be a call for presentations from your state by leaders in the field on the following themes:

• Leading professional learning communities
• Continuous improvement – using data to make instructional decisions
• Applying technology in the classroom to enhance student learning
• Leading powerful district and school improvement initiatives
• Leadership development
