YEP DC members are invited to attend a panel on "Magnet Schools: Improving Academic Achievement, Revitalizing Neighborhoods, and Promoting Diversity and Integration in the Classroom to be held Tuesday, February 5, 2013 from 9:00 - 11:30 am at the US Capitol Visitor Center (East Capitol Street NE & First Street NE).
Hosted by Magnet Schools of America, the panel discussion will explore the intersection of federal housing and education policy, and how magnet schools promote higher academic achievement, integrated classrooms, and community stability and revitalization. The event will also feature a special presentation from the 2012 National Magnet School Principal of-the-Year, Jill Levine from the Normal Park Museum Magnet in Chattanooga,TN. Ms. Levine will tell her inspiring story of how she transformed one of the state's lowest performing schools into an innovative, exciting, and challenging place of learning.
Normal Park not only serves as a model and training center for school leaders across the country, but it has increased property values and spurred neighborhood development during the recession as a result of its transformation into a high-quality magnet school. It has been named a J.F. Kennedy School of Distinction and is also featured on the U.S. Department of Education's Doing What Works website.
Confirmed Speakers:
Phil Tegeler, Executive Director, Poverty & Race Research Action Council
Richard Kahlenberg, Senior Fellow, The Century Foundation
John Brittain, Professor of Law, University of the District of Columbia
Jill Levine, Principal, Normal Park Museum Magnet
Maree Sneed, Senior Partner, Hogan and Lovells (Moderator)
