Webinar on 2nd wave of education stimulus funding

Stimulus: The Second Wave

This event is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 20, 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern time. The U.S. Department of Education is gearing up to award $5 billion from the federal economic-stimulus package to school districts, states, and education nonprofit organizations through several competitive grant programs. What are the requirements for Race to the Top, innovation, and other grant programs? How can leaders best compete for those awards? And how can the money be used to drive education reform? Join our guests, two high-level officials from the education department and a state education commissioner, as they discuss the details of the grant competitions and the education reform challenges ahead for K-12 leaders. Presenters: Joanne Weiss, Race to the Top director at the U.S. Department of Education James H. Shelton, assistant deputy secretary for innovation and improvement at the U.S. Department of Education Susan A. Gendron, Maine’s commissioner of education and board president of the Council of Chief State School Officers See registration info here
