Based on the best selling book The Kids Left Behind (Barr and Parrett, Solution Tree, 2007), attendees will learn how high poverty/high performing schools are achieving remarkable success. Proven approaches will be identified and analyzed with special emphasis placed on leadership strategies used. Effective strategies will be modeled and mini work/discussion sessions scheduled for participants to focus on concept application and self-evaluation of their school or district.
