Learning about education innovation and transformation
Most economic developers are unfamiliar with "What works?" in education innovation. There is one conference, held each year in Indianapolis, that I try to attend. Sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Leadership of Learning at the University of Indianapolis, this conference gives you an overview of the latest thinking in school transformation. Although it is geared toward Indiana, speakers come from outside the state to expose participants to the latest thinking in school innovation.
Here's the conference brochure. You can register for the conference here: http://cell.uindy.edu/2009educationconference/ (download)
