GSE Co-Hosts School Leadership Summer Institute with Fels

On July 17 to 19, 2007, the Graduate School of Education and the Fels Institute of Government will join with SchoolNet to cosponsor a three-day institute designed to provide educators with the tools they need to create and implement data-driven school improvement plans.

Titled "Building and Leading a Data-Driven School Improvement Process at Your School," the institute will feature a guided hands-on workshop where participants will apply what they have learned to build a comprehensive performance management system for their school.

Expert instructors include leading researchers, administrators, and practitioners including Robert Slavin, Ph.D., director of the Center for Data-Driven Reform in Education and founder of the Success for All Foundation, and Jonathan Supovitz, Ph.D., associate professor at the Univeristy of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education and author of The Case for District-Based Reform: Leading, Building, and Sustaining School Improvement.

To receive a discounted rate, participants must register by May 15, 2007. School teams are encouraged and will receive a discounted rate. For more information and to register, call 215-573-0700.
