Concord Consortium President Chad Dorsey and Board Member Lev Sviridov will participate in the 2011 Excellence in Action National Summit on Education Reform at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on October 13-14.

This initiative convenes the best and brightest from around the world to share strategies to improve the quality of education. This one-stop-shop of policies and practices offers an opportunity for lawmakers and policymakers to learn the nuts and bolts of reform. During the two-day summit, participants are immersed in briefings, discussions and debates on the latest research, pilot programs and proven policies for raising student achievement.

The Concord Consortium’s mission is to ignite large-scale improvements in teaching and learning through technology. We imagine a deeply digital future, where teaching and learning seamlessly incorporate the best features of digital technology to dramatically improve education.
