The goal of the dialogue is to engage teachers, principals, superintendents, policy makers, students, parents, representatives of media and business, and others throughout California in important discussions related to supporting schools, districts, and communities to achieve success for all students. We need your input! Outcomes of the dialogue will be included in a report with an actionable set of recommendations for state-level activities to close the achievement gap.

The dialogue will focus on a different topic each day:
*access to learning opportunities (10/29)
*building a climate and culture of achievement (10/30)
*setting and keeping high expectations (10/31)
*promising strategies and practices (11/1)

Web dialogues are Internet-based discussions with a purpose. They enable all of the participants to discuss issues using an organized online structure and process. They encourage conversation that respects all voices with goals of learning, sharing perspectives, exploring solutions, and weighing tradeoffs inherent in policy issues.

Each day's topic will be introduced at 7:00 a.m. The dialogue does not take place in "real time." People can come in and out of the conversations and post comments during the days and evenings as their schedules permit.

Please join this dialogue so you can contribute to this important discussion! Please share this announcement with others who might be interested in taking part.

Funding for this dialogue is provided by the James Irvine Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
