The Panel/Workshop Discussion section of the 2006 No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools' Ceremony was structured as a "professional learning experience" through which both panelists and the audience were invited to discuss the challenges of meeting the educational needs of all students in a diverse and multicultural universe.
The selected presentations below are ones that have relevance to the No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools audience. The goals of the Panel/Workshops are to serve as a resource for schools and present a serious discussion about research-based or effective practices that have made a difference to Blue Ribbon Schools. These presentation materials can be used to:
- Stimulate ideas for discussion with school planning teams;
- Target strategies to address problems currently identified as needing improvement by the school community;
- Prompt the school administration to contact the Blue Ribbon School presenter to learn more about the topic area; and
- Refer others to the No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools website as a resource for school improvement strategies.
