Summit for Innovative Ed.

Accelerate improvement, drive innovation,
and close the global achievement gap

Achievement gaps between U.S. schools and those of the highest performing systems in the world have serious implications for America’s competitiveness in a global economy. Join leading-edge educators, policy makers, and business leaders from across the nation and the Pacific region at McREL’s Summit for Innovative Education to explore how the principles and practices of the world’s best high reliability organizations—in education and industry—can be applied to our local schools, districts, and systems to accelerate improvement, drive innovation, and close achievement gaps.

• Engage with some of the world’s most prominent education researchers, leaders, and innovators.
• Discover the remarkably consistent pathways top-performing systems follow to progress from developing to good, good to great, and great to excellent. Learn how schools, districts, and educational systems can follow these improvement pathways and benchmark their progress.
• Explore how these high-reliability, high-performing principles can form a foundation for better, more effective education policy, governance, and initiatives.
