to be addressed in summer institute
Over 100 national leaders and practitioners will convene to address the issue of the widening achievement gap among students in America's public schools during the Yale Child Study Center School Development Program Summer Policy Institute being held July 25-27 in Washington, D.C.
Leaders and practitioners from the School Development Program Network will discuss educational strategies and solutions with representatives from the National Alliance of Business' Successful Schools Project, The National Parent Teachers' Association, The National Education Association, American Federation of Teachers, Council of Chief State School Officers, state education officials, deans of colleges and universities, and faith-based communities.
The core theme will be the role of policy in addressing the achievement gap, which will be discussed during a practice dialogue session hosted by U.S. Representative Major R. Owens (D-New York) on Capitol Hill on July 26. Members of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce will also take part in the discussion.
The Yale Child Study Center School Development Program was created in 1968 by Dr. James P. Comer, an internationally recognized leader in education reform. The program works with nearly 800 schools in the United States as well as in Trinidad and Tobago. The team has been helping inner city and rural schools improve through research-based, child-centered practices. Through the work in schools the School Development Program has recognized the need for policymakers to be fully aware of the obstacles and opportunities for sustainable reform.
