Policy Institute
The Conference ends on a high note with a half-day focused entirely on federal education issues: advocacy, policy, and funding. This is an exclusive opportunity for attendees to participate in discussions with recognized experts from the Washington, D.C. law firm of Brustein & Manasevit.
To attend this unique session at no additional cost, simply select the additional item, “Policy Institute,†when registering.
Issues and processes will be viewed through the lens of passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), using examples from this and previous attempts at Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) reauthorization. Policy Institute participants will learn about the following:
The basics of the federal legislative and regulatory processes in general, as well as the process toward this ESEA reauthorization in particular
An overview of policy issues that schools, districts, and states may face in the upcoming school year (especially focusing on transition to ESSA, but other current examples include Common Core, testing opt-outs, and vaccinations)
How to reach out to federal agencies and Congressional representatives to express policy priorities and concerns, and the best times to do so to influence legislation or regulations, including ESSA
How policy discussion translates to on-the-ground changes -- including when and how ESSA will change State and district practices.

KEYNOTE: Education Is the Civil Rights Issue of Our Time
The struggle for civil rights dominates our domestic political landscape on numerous fronts. Many would argue that without access to a high quality education, other forms of civil rights are irrelevant. And the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) has been at the forefront of this movement, as described by former Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan:
"ESEA marked an extraordinary step for education, and for civil rights. The fight for educational opportunity and the fight for civil rights always have been and always will be inextricably linked. ESEA has built a foundation under our nation's schools, helping to raise the bar for every child, and to ensure that the resources are there for those most in need. It's helped create an expectation that no matter where you live in this country, when students aren't making progress, local leaders will come together to make change--especially if they are students with disabilities, students who are still learning English, students from a particular racial group, students who live in poverty, or students coming from particular school."
This message is so incredibly important, compelling, and timely. Under the direction of moderator, Tavis Smiley, the panel will discuss why they believe that education - and especially Title I - is the civil rights issue of our time.

The Student Engagement Fallacy: What It Is and Is Not
A misconception exists among many that raising standards will improve achievement. Raising expectations through standards—without addressing instructional practices—will only widen achievement gaps that exist. One solution espoused by educational reformists is to increase student engagement; however, vague definitions of “student engagement†embedded in walk-through models and appraisal rubrics often create confusion and compromise best practices. To ensure student support systems are not overwhelmed, the general education setting must be addressed. Student engagement is crucial, but employing strategies that appear to be engaging—when, in fact, they are not—is actually counter-productive. It is possible to structure engagement so that every learner is active; it is also possible to have a clear, concrete definition of student engagement. In this session participants will learn the difference between having activity in a classroom and structuring engagement for all

MINDSET, RESILIENCY, AND GRIT: 3 Keys to Unleashing the Potential of Under-Resourced Youth
We are products, not prisoners, of our past. This fast-paced humorous, informative session addresses three powerful keys to help unleash the potential of at-risk youth: Growth Mindsets, Resiliency, and Grit. Research has shown that these keys play a much larger role in predicting success than IQ, background, or talent. All three are vitally important for success and, when instilled in the lives of at-risk kids, can rechart the course of their future. Attendees will learn the following: 1) the characteristics of both fixed and growth mindsets, as well as how to instill growth attributes in students of all ages; 2) research-based applicable tools that can be implemented immediately to increase achievement, resiliency, and grit; and 3) how to examine the components in successful Title I schools that increase intrinsic motivation, work ethic, resiliency, and sustained effort in students from high poverty. Attendees will also be provided with handouts, including Tara's much requested “10 Crucial Things My Under-Resourced Youth Taught Me.â€
