Providing the best education for our Indiana students takes a variety of resources from across Indiana and our entire nation. These are some of those initiatives, programs and groups that help promote learning.
Registration is now open for the 2009 ICE Back to School Blast featuring keynote speaker Ron Clark! For those who may not be familiar with Ron Clark, he is a truly dynamic and innovative educator and the founder of the Ron Clark Academy, a Georgia school dedicated to fostering creativity, leadership, and a collaborative spirit to help children achieve greater levels of success. Mr. Clark is also the author of the bestselling education books, "The Essential 55" and "The Excellent 11," and is a former Teacher of the Year. He has been honored in many venues, including being named Oprah's first "Phenomenal Man" and having a TV movie made about his life and his successes with students. Mr. Clark will be available after the keynote on October 9 to speak with attendees and sign copies of his book.
Attendees can register to join others at the Sheraton at Keystone at the Crossing in Indianapolis at the ICE web site. Registration is $100 for the day which includes featured exhibitors, lunch, and special concurrent sessions and showcases in addition to the keynote speaker. Register today – space is limited!
