The Education Alliance to present at the public schools of North Carolina's Raising Achievement and Closing Gaps Conference

Ivana Zuliani and Beth-Ann Tek will co-present with the Hickory Public Schools district on "Making a Difference for Diverse Students through a Quality School Improvement Process." Through the Alliance's Comprehensive School Reform (CSR) Support and Capacity Building Program, the Alliance provides support to states and districts across the eastern seaboard as they build the capacity to provide systematic support for school improvement. Through the work with Hickory Public Schools, processes for districts and schools to engage in inclusive and sustainable improvement have been developed. Attendees will learn about the key components and processes necessary for addressing the root causes of achievement gaps and how to identify school and system-wide strategies for addressing them.
