We are also offering school visits and other pre-conference activities on December 1. School visits to your choice of three of Rhode Island’s most innovative and successful schools (Blackstone Academy Charter School, The Learning Community, and The Met School) are $150 per person and will be offered until we reach capacity for each. This price will remain
the same after October 7, and school visits may be added to existing Fall Forum registrations.

This gathering will be CES’s final Fall Forum, and we expect to reach capacity. Please register at cesfallforum2016.eventbrite.com to secure your place at this historic conversation as we reflect on the work of the Coalition of Essential Schools, the contributions of Ted Sizer and generations of CES educators, and the future of schools led by the questions and passions of students and teachers.
