Topic: Urban School Turnaround: Mission Impossible?

By Dr. DeWayne Davis, Los Angeles Unified School District

Currently, there is considerable debate on the sustainability of urban school turn around efforts.  In 2009, the Obama Administration announced its intention to "turn-around" 5,000 of the nation's lowest performing schools.  Since that time, school districts have scrambled to find district and school-level leaders who specialize in this work.  Our November guest is Dr. DeWayne Davis of Los Angeles Unified School District who is a turn-around specialist.  He has been a principal in some of LA's most challenging schools.  Dr. Davis has been widely recognized for his accomplishments in transforming urban underperforming  schools - having turned several into notable academic institutions.  Join us in a discussion with Dr. Davis about the leadership skills needed to successfully turn around urban schools and how to build sustainable cultures of academic excellence.

All checks must be received by noon on 11/12/12.
