Break-out Session Presentations
Florida Department of Education/Florida Education Foundation
2006 K-12 Conference
October 3-6, 2006
The 2006 K-12 Conference will focus on (1) innovative approaches to improving
achievement at the middle grades (6-8), including K-8 schools; and (2) secondary public
school career, collegiate, and magnet academies. Chancellor Yecke has expressed the
goal of enhancing rigor at the middle level, and Commissioner Winn has stated his goal
for every secondary public school in Florida to have an academy by the 2009-2010
school year. This conference will be one of the first steps in highlighting the state’s best
model programs to other schools looking to implement such programs of their own.
The first full day of the 2006 K-12 Conference, Wednesday, October 4, will be dedicated
to the school Innovation Fair and accompanying school presentations. Requests for a
booth at the Innovation Fair require a different application. Other presenters will have
the opportunity to share their knowledge as it relates to secondary academies on
Thursday, October 5, and the morning of Friday, October 6.
We strongly encourage districts with successful experience in implementing
academy programs to apply, including finance and facility managers.
Presentations
by vendors will be limited to selected sponsors of the conference. There are
approximately 100 one-hour break-out sessions available for all presentations.
Attached is a request for proposal form for parties interested in presenting at the 2006
K-12 Conference. Please contact K-12 Conference Staff at (850) 245-0509 or
K12Conference@fldoe.org if you have any questions.

Chairman.
