"Journey
to 2008: Successful Teachers, Successful Students" |
| |
| At the eighth annual Wake
Education Summit, 400 citizens and community leaders—including
business people, community- and faith-based organizations,
parents, teachers, administrators and elected officials—came
together to continue our community's focus on Goal
2008 by exploring ways to recruit, develop, retain and
support highly qualified educators for all our schools. The
half-day working meeting included presentations from local
and regional experts, in addition to time for facilitated
discussion at participants' tables to offer feedback and set
priorities for public education in Wake County. |
| |
| Priorities identified during the
Summit are presented to school and community leaders as well
as business and community organizations for their consideration
in establishing actions to support academic success for all
students. Recommendations from previous Summits have directly
affected policy changes and the use of resources by community
groups and the public schools. Each Summit has enhanced the
strategic focus of agencies, businesses and the schools, while
creating a climate of shared ownership for excellence and
measurable results. |
