February 18 - 19, 2010 Hotel Allegro 171 W. Randolph Street Chicago, IL 60601 This event is designed to gather exceptional educators who are energized by the chance to engage in spirited conversation and out-of-the-box thinking. This two-day event will offer the opportunity to step away from the demands of school to hear from two amazing presenters while also sharing the best practices and innovations in our own ISACS schools. Register yourself for an experience that will add fuel to your creative fires, or send a colleague as affirmation of a commitment to excellence in your school. Leave with new ideas, vision, commitment and energy. The Academy for Exceptional Teaching will provide time to learn, share, consider, create, debate, and stretch thinking through engagement with Pat Bassett and Ian Jukes. Also built into the schedule, is time to reflect, laugh, rest, read and converse with colleagues. Participants will enjoy a fabulous dinner and evening at Chicago’s own Second City Comedy Theater, and will leave with new ideas and new perspective on professional practice and the possibilities that await back at school. You will not want to miss this gathering of our best and brightest! Speakers
