QuEST Conference
July 12-15, 2007
Washington Hilton, Washington, D.C.
We are pleased to present this year's QuEST (Quality Educational Standards in Teaching) conference, a biennial event devoted to teaching and learning. QuEST is an exciting forum for learning, debate and discussion among AFT members, leaders and the entire education community. Participants will:
- Grapple with the challenges and opportunities we face implementing current federal mandates;
- Learn about the latest research on school improvement;
- Discuss issues classroom educators face daily;
- Share ideas and practices with committed colleagues from across the country.
| "I love QuEST! This is a conference I will recommend to all my colleagues. It refuels me for the new school year." |
For the classroom educator, QuEST offers more than a hundred workshops designed for a variety of interests. These range from the best research on how to improve reading and math achievement to using proven strategies for teaching a range of students. Participants also can visit our Education Expo to review and purchase publications and books, visit online resources, get special discounts, and send faxes to members of Congress on pressing legislative issues.
For AFT leaders, members and education policymakers, QuEST is a place to get practical guidance on meeting today's educational challenges, such as:
- Working with administrators to raise achievement and foster labor-management cooperation around teacher quality;
- Responding to the assessment and accountability challenges presented by the No Child Left Behind Act and IDEA;
- Raising educational standards for all students through professional development and technology; and
- Learning about ways to raise achievement for all students.
