Strand connections will be made throughout the year at the School Improvement Conferences. Districts and schools are encouraged to have teams (e.g. an administrator, instructional coach, and teacher from the same school) attend the institute together. Individuals will be able to attend sessions focused on their role in improving student achievement. At the end of each day, teams will be able to work together in facilitated discussions to plan for maintaining and expanding rigorous programs. Overnight Accommodations: Radisson Hotel, 111 N.
