CONNECTING THE BIG 3 IN EDUCATION
As the District of Columbia's largest networking organization for young education professionals, YEP-DC is a platform for tomorrow's leaders to connect and collaborate around the common goal of improving education in the United States.

YEP-DC is hosting the inaugural Research to Policy, Policy to Practice Conference so that members can identify ways to transition beyond their silos and better connect, coordinate, and leverage the research, policy, and practice of education. 

Sessions, which will be led by YEP-DC members, may include:

• How do we work together - across policy and practice - to ensure a successful implementation of national standards and achievement-improving strategies?
• What should a system of accountability to ensure high quality teachers in every classroom look like?
• What can we do collectively and individually at the school, policy and community level to close the literacy gap?
• What systems need to be in place to ensure better communications between the policy, research and practice education communities? 

The conference costs $15 plus fees.  Lunch will be provided.  Register today at http://yepdcpolicyandpractice.eventbrite.com/
