Plan to attend the GEAR UP Success Conference at the Inn of the Seventh Mountain Resort in Bend April 29 - May 1. This year's theme will be "Transitions" and the conference will provide opportunity to learn about effective practices that support the successful transition of students between middle school and high school as well as between high school and college. The conference will be keynoted by Dr. Dudley Flood, a former middle and high school teacher and principal. Noted for his work in the area of improving the achievement of minority and under-performing students, Dr. Flood worked for many years in the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and serves as a consultant to schools throughout the United States. Breakout sessions will be provided on successful drop-out prevention and retention practices and a panel will engage in a lively discussion on successful transition practices between middle and high school as well as between high school and college. During the conference school teams will work together to develop a plan that they can implement when they return to their school.
The Success Conference provides a valuable opportunity to reflect on the success of this year and use that success as a springboard to even greater success in the coming year. We look forward to working with each of you and your teams during the conference.
