NAIS+2011+Proposal

Here's the theme for next year -- might help us package the proposal..

**//Monumental Opportunities: Advancing Our Public Purpose//**

"But times (and markets) have changed – requiring our community to collectively unite in ongoing dialogue about what it takes to be K-12 leaders – both now and in the future. These times require breakthrough thinking and creativity, and the 2011 NAIS Annual Conference intends to "disrupt" traditional notions about education and "switch" to more resilient and adaptive models by asking questions such as: Together, we will explore these questions and take advantage of nearby educational resources in our nation's capital, as we seek new ways to serve students and schools."
 * What does it mean to be a private independent school in the 21st century? What are our public obligations?
 * How has our calling changed, as the world has moved into a dynamic, interconnected, global paradigm?
 * What capital ideas will unite independent schools to adapt to new exigencies and how will we take our educational model to new heights?
