National Charter Schools Conference

National Charter Schools Conference (NCSC)

EdisonLearning is proud to sponsor of the 10th Annual National Charter Schools Conference which will be held June 28 - July 1, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois.

Each year, the National Charter Schools Conference provides the sole opportunity for the entire movement to gather – leaders, teachers, and board members of charter schools; authorizers and legislators; and supporters in business and philanthropy. The 2010 theme is "Innovators in Education: Leading the Race to the Top" -- chosen because the charter school sector is truly at the cutting edge of education reform.

Now serving more than 1.5 million students in 4,900 schools, public charter schools provide outstanding examples of innovation and quality. The National Charter Schools Conference, presented by the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, is a time to recognize these achievements while rededicating ourselves to pushing toward even higher goals. With states scrambling to create far-reaching Race to the Top plans, and teams of educators hoping to scale their innovations, we are putting out a big welcome mat so all can see what innovative charter schools can offer.
