Schools exist in community. A student's success in school can be greatly improved in communities where stakeholders are both accountable and responsible for what students experience and learn in schools. We look forward to a dynamic and interactive discussion about how to forge student-focused partnerships to improve student success.

The Roundtable will be followed by a talk by Kevin Johnson, NBA All-Star and founder of St. HOPE Academy and St. HOPE Public Schools, titled, "The St. HOPE Story: Transforming an Urban Community through Education." The talk takes place in the Schwab East Vidilakis Room at 5 p.m. A reception will follow at 6 p.m.

We hope you can join us for this wonderful opportunity for learning and sharing.

time to think

Summer institutes at Stanford give participants precious time to learn, exchange ideas with colleagues and simply to think. As one previous event participant put it, The issues and theories raised here were so right on to my roles as an educational leader. You all gave me a chance to slow down, research, reflect, and put names on things so I can re-organize. This made me accept ownership and reinforced my own personal commitment to doing whats best for children. After a very rugged year, this felt like being on a retreat. I know this will impact me professionally and personally for the remainder of my life and career. The experience was truly priceless for me.
