Please join Washington Policy Center for our 2010 Center for Education Lunch. This year's event will show how Innovation Schools give school principals the freedom to improve an existing program or turn around a failing school. The event will feature a keynote address by Rob Stein, principal of Manual High School in Denver.
Dr. Stein will be introduced by Manual High graduate and former Seattle mayor Norman Rice.
Denver's Manual High School was closed in 2006 as the lowest performing school in the state. In 2007 Principal Rob Stein re-opened Manual High. Using budget and staffing tools created by Colorado's Innovation Schools Act, Principal Stein took Manual High from complete failure to a top performing school in Denver. Dr. Stein will explain how we can use these strategies to improve learning for students in Washington state.
Previously Dr. Stein was Head of School for Graland Country Day School, one of Denver's highest-rated private schools. Dr. Stein is an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado, and has taught in the fields of teacher education, school leadership and school reform at Denver University, Harvard Graduate School of Education and Prescott College. He has published, presented and consulted on school leadership, organizational development, research-based practice and school change.
