leadership in high schools

This year’s High School’s New Face Conference is searching for great examples of best practice, instruction, and leadership that challenge students in 21st Century ways.  

The 21st Century Skills should be CORE CURRICULUM in an age when the world is flattening and intellectual competition runs at a fast pace.  Our students must be prepared to compete and excel on a global level like never before.  Some people think 21st Century Skills are all about technology integration, when these skills are really about good teaching, student understanding, and preparation for life in the world.  Western New York is FULL of great High School teachers who understand the need and demand to see that their students can think critically, analyze information, and write and speak effectively.  There are great teachers here in Western New York that great exam results, and are also able to connect and empower their students to greatness beyond “the test” knowing that preparation for life trumps preparation for “the test”.  We are also led by great leaders who can challenge their students and teachers to be a 21st Century learning community.

Are you that person?
If so, WE NEED YOU!

The planning committee for High School’s New Face is searching for local classroom examples of 21st Century Skills in practice.  The attached RFP is being reissued to High School Teachers and Administrators that may wish to share their expertise/experience in integration of 21st Century Skills (www.schoolchange.org) into education with fellow colleagues in High School education at the High School’s New Face Conference on July 16, 2009.   This RFP is open to secondary educators of Core Subject Areas, Special Education, Special Subject Areas like Art, Physical Education, or Music, and Administrators.
