The National Council for Community and Education Partnerships (NCCEP)
fifth annual national conference is entitled Paving the Road
Ahead: Improving Student Achievement, Schools and
Communities and will take place in San Francisco, CA from
July 17-20, 2005. This national convening of approximately 2,000 GEAR UP
project directors and business and community partners is coordinated by
the National Council for Community and Education Partnerships (NCCEP)
and is planned in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Education. The
purpose of this conference is to highlight the importance of K–16
education/community partnerships and the accomplishments of the Gaining
Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP). The
conference also serves to facilitate the forging of new alliances among
K–16 faculty; to foster learning about other federal and
foundation-sponsored college awareness efforts as well as other academic
and student support programs; and to promote the discovery of new ways
to engage local communities, businesses, and professional associations
in the work of GEAR UP partnerships. The conference is particularly
relevant to education practitioners, business leaders, and policy makers
who seek to learn more about creating and sustaining K–16
education collaboratives that can help improve public education and
promote students’ academic achievement.
