Background
Once a year, STC conducts a National Forum in a different host city from our network. The Forum is a public, interactive conference with workshops, panels, and presentations led and attended by thought-leaders in education, STC School Leaders, and guests gathered for a discourse on urban education.
Past Forums
In 2010 the Forum was in Newark and was attended by 200 school leaders, educational thought-leaders, and guests who gathered for a discourse on the state of urban education. Mayor Cory Booker was the keynote speaker. Several of our inspiring School Leaders were interviewed, meet them here.
Other thought leaders at the 2010 Forum included conversation between Dr. David Steiner (Commissioner of Education for New York State) and Norman Atkins (Founder of Uncommon Schools and Teacher U.); discussion between Joel Klein (Chancellor of Schools, New York City) and Sy Fliegel (President of CEI-PEA); a presentation by Whitney Tilson (education reformer, Founder of DFER, board member of KIPP); and a conversation between John King (Deputy Commissioner New York State) and Dana Lehman (Head of School, Roxbury Prep). A number of take home values resulted from the Newark Forum.
Cleveland hosted the 2011 Forum: Collaborating for Student Success. Key speakers in attendance were Shafeen Charania (formerly with Microsoft) and Jamie Cloud (The Cloud Institute). Highlights included updates from the STC Regional Council initiatives in Boston and Milwaukee, a panel on Finding and Evaluating Teacher Talent featuring Mike Piscal (Andre Agassi Preparatory, Founder of ICEF Public Schools), and a speech by Nina Turner (OH Senator).
