HOSTS

HealthCorps and CHPS are this year's conference hosts and, well, we couldn't do it without them! HealthCorps�' vision is to lead a nationwide movement toward a new generation of healthy young people through an innovative in-school model that inspires teens to make healthier choices for themselves and their families. The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) is leading a national movement to improve student performance and the entire educational experience by building the best possible schools.
GREENING SCHOOLS FROM THE INSIDE OUT
 
Curriculum expert Gerald Lieberman, author of Education and the Environment: Creating Standards-Based Programs in Schools and Districts, will be leading one of our conference panels. 
Titled "Greening Schools from the Inside Out," the session will explore policies and practices that green schools can adopt to bring about curriculum transformations and initiatives at the state, district, and school level.
