Join the RISE Network and school teams from around the region for a 2-day summer symposium to invest in Grade 9 on-track achievement as a key lever to improve high school graduation rates and postsecondary success! Together, we will transform high school experiences and student outcomes through replicable and impactful strategies.
June 24 – 25, 2024
9 A.M. – 4 P.M. each day
Venue TBA
School teams committed to Grade 9. We encourage schools to send teams of 4 to 6 people, including the principal and Grade 9 administrator, a district leader, and a teacher and/or counselor involved in Grade 9 work.
Over the Symposium’s two days, attendees will reflect on research connected to the Grade 9 transition, explore practices for promoting freshman success, plan for enhancements to Grade 9 strategy, and gain motivation from collaborating with a community of engaged fellow educators.
