Helping students succeed now and in the future

Cd'A conference attracts educators from North Idaho and beyond

It is no longer enough for a student to simply graduate from high school, according to author, presenter and professional learning communities practitioner Mike Mattos. "That diploma has to represent more than time served, credits earned, points acquired," Mike Mattos said Tuesday morning. "It's got to represent the skills and knowledge needed to continue to learn." Mattos, author of "Professional Learning Communities at Work and High-Reliability Schools," spoke to about 900 educators, many from North Idaho and about 200 from other districts and states, as he delivered the opening keynote speech at the Professional Learning Communities at Work conference at Lake City High School.
