Network For College Success
#NCSCon14
Our special day is coming as a result of
NCS principals’ aspiration to demonstrate their collective power as a community of learners across schools. This conference will leverage the power of our network community to drive change in and across schools.
The goals are to:
- strengthen our cross-school community of adult learners;
- build coherence amongst schools' improvement efforts;
- extend NCS professional learning to a broader set of staff from each school.
