Featuring Luvelle Brown & the Ithaca Team
When the superintendent is tweeting articles on "Why Music and Art are Key to Engaging Students" and "Why Kids Shouldn't Sit Still in Class" you know that something different is going on. This is the Ithaca story - the story of how one dynamic and determined superintendent brought a school community together to not only drastically raise achievement but to change what it means to work together as a team to heighten student outcomes in every way.
SAANYS is excited to welcome Ithaca's Luvelle Brown, the 2017 New York State Superintendent of the Year, to the SAANYS Annual Conference. Brown will be joined by members of his administrative team as they talk about the district's shift in organizational culture that has led to a 64 percent reduction in discipline referrals, a 58 percent increase in enrollment in co-curricular programs, and a graduation rate that has skyrocketed from 78 percent to above 90 percent. Educators and young people in Ithaca are transforming teaching and learning practices, realigning priorities, engaging the community, and overcoming situational constraints resulting in these dramatic achievement gains. Join us and be inspired by The Ithaca Story.
