Please note: Registration for Essential Skills and Strategies is separate from the Annual Conference registration. Please use the link above to register. Pssst. New at the granting game? Learn how to effectively solicit and evaluate proposals. Even if someone has what sounds like a good idea, it's still our job to make wise funding choices. That's why we manage grants from the get-go, from approval to closure.
Remember that adage about not reinventing the wheel? It's as true today as it's ever been. We have invited some grantmaking experts and (some of them your peers) to teach some tricks of the trade (proven strategies!), using small group discussions and interactive exercises.

For a nation that proudly declared it would leave no child behind, America continues to do so at alarming rates. Despite increased spending and politicians' promises, our buckling public-education system, once the best in the world, routinely forsakes the education of millions of children. Oscar®-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) reminds us that education "statistics" have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of Waiting for "Superman". As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying "drop-out factories" and "academic sinkholes," methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems. However, embracing the belief that good teachers make good schools, Guggenheim offers hope by exploring innovative approaches taken by education reformers and charter schools that have—in reshaping the culture—refused to leave their students behind.
