This 28th International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement features the opening keynote by Andreas Schleicher, Deputy Director, Directorate for Education, OECD, who will address the most recent PISA studies.

Additional keynote presenters are:
Dr. Vivian Tseng and Dr. Kim DuMont of the W.T. Grant Foundation who will lead a session examining efforts to scale up reforms from idea to several schools, from several schools to dozens, and from substantial numbers of schools to hundreds or thousands of schools. In a series of related sessions, we will include Multi-year Results from Ideas in Innovation (I3) Grants. These sessions will include presentations by developers of reforms that have been awarded $30-$50 million dollars from the U.S Department of Education.   Efforts at scaling up Cooperative Learning, Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP), Success for All, Teach for America and other programs will be presented alongside 4th year external evaluations of the programs' effects.
 
Dr. Tom Good, University of Arizona, and Dr. Daniel Muijs, University of Southampton, will discuss what we and practitioners need to know about Teacher Effects.

Dr. Robert Marzano, cofounder and CEO of Marzano Research Laboratory will present results from his meta-analyses of school- and system-level educational effects, driving toward his call for High Reliability Organization (HRO) structures in educational reform.

Dr. Dan Duke, Professor of Leadership, Foundations and Policy in the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia, will present his research and related work on the critical imperative of Turning Around Low Performing Schools.
