The 90/90/90 Schools™ Summit

Bethesda, Maryland

April 14-15, 2011
Bethesda, Maryland

Register today for the 90/90/90 Schools™ Summit; the latest research on sustainable improvements in the nation’s most challenging schools

Hear what 90/90/90 schools have accomplished, what their challenges were, how they overcame “insurmountable” barriers, how and where they started their journey, the key to moving them forward (including changes in leadership), the keys to better decisions, motivating your team, making the transition a smoother process, how long it took, and much more…

Join Dr. Douglas B. Reeves, the author of the original 90/90/90 study, contributing schools, and special guests as they share the latest research, insights, and practices that contribute to reaching 90/90/90 status, including:

  • Sustaining Improvement Through Changes in Leadership
  • High Poverty and High Achievement – 2010 Case Studies of Success
  • The “Fourth 90” – The Special Case of High ESL Populations
  • Staff Morale and Motivation – Maintaining Focus in the Face of Challenge
  • Writing and Data Teams – The Place of Nonfiction Writing in the Data Teams Process

Seize this NEW opportunity to explore the practices and case studies that lead high poverty, high minority schools to high levels of success – recorded significant gains and closed achievement gaps – and take-away a practical understanding of how to implement turn-around strategies to achieve and sustain success in your school or district.

This Summit will highlight research and replicable practices used by results-driven, high achieving schools.  You will also learn practical strategies to lead and sustain improvement in times of change, and you will hear directly from administrators of now-successful 90/90/90 schools about their journeys, challenges, and successes.
