Once every year, thousands of America’s school administrators, teachers, parents, business leaders, and policymakers join together at one event for ideas and inspiration that place our children first. It’s the nation’s premier conference on K-12 education reform.

The Model Schools Conference is the International Center’s signature event. It brings all the components of our work together at one time in support of our basic mission: a rigorous and relevant education for all students.

The 15th Annual Model Schools Conference will showcase:

  • High schools, middle grades programs, and elementary schools that are highly successful at providing every student with a rigorous and relevant education. Identifying and analyzing the high schools are part of a major joint initiative of the International Center for Leadership in Education and the Council of Chief State School Officers, with financial support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

  • Instructional practices and leadership approaches that lead to dramatic improvement in student performance.

  • Cutting-edge research on best practices and skills and knowledge needed for success in technological, information-based society.

  • Student engagement strategies used by high performing schools.

  • Measurable learning criteria that schools can use to evaluate how well they are doing in meeting their goals on an ongoing basis.

  • Keynote addresses by Bill Daggett and feature presentations by national education leaders.
