“Understanding the Achievement Gap and How It Might be Reduced”
Reducing the achievement gap as well as raising the level of achievement for all students has been the goal of education reforms, at least since the days of President Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty and the beginning of Title 1 in 1965. Nevertheless, the achievement gap has remained pretty much as it was at that time. The achievement gap is described, its importance explored and a variety of school reform efforts are considered for reducing the achievement gap (e.g. preschool programs, ability grouping, class size).
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Andrew Porter, Dean of the Graduate School of Education at University of Pennsylvania and George and Diane Weiss Professor of Education

This session will overview the research-based, Annenberg Distributed Leadership Project, funded at $4.9 million and developed by the Penn Center for Educational Leadership, Graduate School of Education, at the University of Pennsylvania. This project created model distributed leadership teams including over 90 teacher leaders and 16 new principals in elementary and high schools to improve the instructional focus of the schools and improve student outcomes. Based on the research of James Spillane, this model of leadership development is intended to prepare leaders who are well grounded in the skills and strategies needed for success and in how to build and sustain high-performing, standards-based schools. The team will present a theoretical framework outlining the expected outcome sequence for schools participating in the DL intervention. First-year impacts on school climate and staff social networks will be presented, along with analyses of the qualitative data from two cohorts of the intervention. The targeted training, randomized-control design, and comprehensive evaluation model of this leadership building project makes it unique among distributed leadership and leadership efforts across the country.

Congressional“Building Bridges: Enhancing Mathematics and Reading Through the Arts”
In recent years, an increasing number of school-based research studies strongly suggest connections among cognition, social and emotional development, and the arts. Through their research, scholars have reported that children who attend schools where the arts are an integral part of the curriculum out-perform students who attend schools where the arts take on an ancillary function in the curriculum and lie subordinate to all other subjects. This panel discussion will present the results of the first year of implementation from a longitudinal study in four rural school districts in Pennsylvania.
