In lieu of its annual conference, HEAR is holding this Pre-Convention session, and the morning session is targeted to higher education representatives. Join your colleagues to learn the latest higher education trends and issues. We’ll offer information-rich presentations on the topics of greatest impact, and also build in plenty of time for discussion.

Come prepared to share best practices and strategize about common challenges. Morning Pre-Convention attendees are encouraged to participate in the afternoon session.

The second half of the P-20 Alignment Pre-Convention will bring together an impressive group that includes representatives from CDE, the Department of Higher Education, K-12 leaders, higher education, and members of Colorado’s congressional delegation to discuss this very issue.
Participants will engage in candid discussion about how to focus and align K-12 and higher education and what that means in light of the current push for comprehensive educational reform. Other issues we’ll cover include a statewide student longitudinal data system, educator preparation, and standards and assessments as they relate to CAP4K.
CASE members are encouraged to attend this session to make important connections with your higher education colleagues.
Fee: PM Session ONLY: $35 members and nonmembers (includes a beverage break and invitation to the Networking Reception with hosted appetizers and cash bar)
Rural Educators Conversation
2:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Education in Colorado has never been tougher. State resources are being cut from very low levels to begin with, yet, expectations continue to increase. The federal regulations for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act will change the goals and will have disproportionate impact on rural and urban settings.
- How does the shift from formula to competitive grants–including I-3 grants–impact your day-to-day operations?
- How can you provide education options and differentiated instruction regardless of your enrollment numbers?
- What do your schools need to meet state mandates on standards, assessments, accreditation requirements, evaluations, concurrent enrollment and more?
- How do you to take care of the total child, including health, safety, and nutritional needs?
- What do you need to do to take care of the people in your district when the ground is shifting beneath them?
Come together with your rural colleagues to map out the influences and strategize on how you will get through the next two years. We will provide the latest information you need to plan, share and consider how to serve kids in this rapidly changing environment.
Fee: $15 members $35 nonmembers (includes a beverage break and invitation to the Networking Reception with hosted appetizers and cash bar) Register for either the New Model Content Standards Implementation Planning for Leadership or P20 Conference and attend the Rural Educators Conversation for free!
