Carnegie Learning Hosts National School Improvement Summit in Washington, DC

"Carnegie Learning is pleased to create an opportunity for decision-makers tasked with the critical job of turning around failing schools, to learn from and share ideas with national leaders engaged in the work of successful, sustainable school improvement," said Dennis Ciccone, chief executive officer of Carnegie Learning, Inc.

Speakers include Daniel Pink, best-selling author of A Whole New Mind; Michael Haggen, associate superintendent of innovative services, St. Louis Public Schools; Dr. Steve Paine, West Virginia superintendent of schools & president of the Council of Chief State School Officers; Josh Powell, superintendent and turnaround specialist, Union County Schools in Kentucky; and Fernando Zulueta, chief executive officer of Florida's Academica Charter Schools.

"The goal of the Summit is to create a dialog that promotes a strong understanding of how instruction can better target the way students learn and how teachers can grow and thrive as educators," said Ciccone. "These are key factors that must be addressed in order to reverse a culture of failure in our schools."
