 | Solution Tree Annual Conference on Standards and Assessment
April 14-16, 2010 Las Vegas, Nevada
This conference offers a range of assessment strategies and the time to explore, network, and discover the tools that will work best for you. This event will help you find direction and return home with practical ideas for making your assessments timely, precise, and instrumental to maximizing your instructional time.
Join McREL’s President & CEO, Timothy Waters, in a keynote presentation as he explores what our schools would look like if we treated every student failure as a catastrophic event and outlines how to ensure that every student who enters our system leaves it with a full range of post-secondary and life opportunities.
