How Well are We Preparing Our Young People for Life after High School?

This conference will bring together students, teachers, administrators, policymakers and others to discuss the many critical issues facing California's high schools, to propose solutions to problems and to determine the outcomes necessary to move our high schools and the state forward. A few of the topics to be addressed include:

    . The pros and cons of small learning communities
    . Innovative ideas in career preparation
    . A-G curriculum for all
    . Retention rates
    . California's High School Exit Exam
    . The impact of No Child Left Behind on teaching

These are all critical issues facing Californians from educators and students to policymakers and parents and from the business community to the higher education community. How we approach and address these issues will ultimately impact California's economy and future. Please join us for this timely and important discussion.
