FOSTERING

ACROSS OUR STATE

Greetings to our North Carolina Education Stakeholders,

On behalf of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, we welcome you to the inaugural Connecting Communities of Education Stakeholders (CCES) Conference.

As we bring together the traditions of the Home Base Symposium and Collaborative Conference for Student Achievement, we want to create a dynamic, adult learning environment where all education personnel can immerse themselves in relevant, research-based strategies that improve practice. We welcome the opportunity to learn with you as presenters and share proven strategies, success stories, and pride in community victories. Through professional dialogue and collegial learning, we grow stronger and are better equipped to meet the needs of all learners. Again, welcome, and let us know how we can further support you in the business of educating kids.

Mark Johnson NC Superintendent

Dr. Maria-Pitre Martin NC Deputy Superintendent
