Design Team Conference (Southlake, TX) 09.22.10 - 09.24.10
Design Teams are critical in increasing the likelihood of providing students with engaging work through the efforts of district and school leaders. This year's Design Team Conference has, itself, been redesigned to better support teams in this important work. Entitled The Vision Quest, the conference will help teams establish a clear direction for their work in the context of their school or district. New concepts applicable to the work of design teams will be drawn from A Retelling of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and support will be provided for each team to clarify their vision and design strategic action to invite others into participation in their journey.
Dates and Times: The conference will begin at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday and will conclude at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
Registration Fee: $900 per participant. This price includes materials and conference meals.
Standard-Bearer School District: $800 per participant. This price includes materials and conference meals. Active Standard-Bearer School Districts have an option to use units to pay registration fees. The registration price is one half unit per participant. The superintendent of an active Standard-Bearer district may attend at no charge.
Not sure if you qualify for Standard-Bearer pricing? Both Active and Affiliate districts will receive the discount. (view list)

Testimonials
All students deserve to learn, and it is our job as educators to reach and meet the needs of all students – not just the 30 percent there to learn. Finally, I am part of a district that is fostering such a vision and mission! Finally, there is a center for educational reform (The Schlechty Center) out there reaching and teaching districts and schoolhouses across the nation and inspiring such a vision and mission!
The WOW Conference was incredible. I came away with a deeper understanding of the framework and have already implemented the "systems" thinking resources into our Central Office staff meetings.
Thank you for the ideas and the motivation. I always learn so much when I'm with you...even things I didn't expect.
