International Honor Society and Professional Association in Education

Leadership Conference  -  July 26-29, 2007

 


Two Powerful Designs  •  One Conference

This conference will explore tools of achieving student engagement in higher education and K-12, and the structure and training that are prerequisites for applying those tools successfully. The National School Reform Faculty's Critical Friends Groups design provides the necessary framework and The Gallup Organization's strengths-based education program provides the necessary tools.
