The thirteenth Raising Achievement and Closing Gaps Conference will be held March 30 - April 1, 2009 at the Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at Four Seasons/Joseph S. Koury Convention Center.

Mark your calendar and plan to have your school, school district, and community represented at this conference on best practices. We suggest that schools be represented by a team to include the principal, teachers, parents, and business or community representatives, though, individual participants are welcome. Superintendents and other district office staff are also encouraged to attend to facilitate district-wide efforts to improve student achievement.

The 2009 conference will emphasize:

  • preparing globally competitive students;
  • supporting 21st century professionals to create a culture of continuous improvement;
  • improving academic growth for high performing students;
  • developing healthy and responsible citizens;
  • providing ways to assist all subgroups to make adequate yearly progress (AYP); and implementing the recommendations of the NC Advisory Commission on Raising Achievement and Closing Gaps;

We look forward to seeing you at the 2009 conference.
