 National Leadership Summit on Improving Results: Policy and Practice Implications for Secondary and Postsecondary Education, Transition, and Workforce Development for Youth with Disabilities
June 14-15, 2005
Washington, DC
In order to continue the national conversation which occurred at the National Leadership Summit in 2003, NCSET in partnership with federal agencies and national organizations co-hosted a second National Leadership Summit on Improving Results for Youth in Washington, D.C. in June 14-15, 2005. This event convened state-level teams of policymakers to examine the progress made in the implementation of the strategic action plans developed at the 2003 Summit, and further built state capacity to improve high school experiences that lead to successful postschool outcomes for all youth.
 National
Leadership Summit on Improving Results: Policy and Practice Implications
for Secondary and Postsecondary Education and Employment for Youth
with Disabilities
September 18-19, 2003
Washington, D.C.
In response to the need to improve secondary education and postschool
outcomes for youth with disabilities, NCSET hosted its first National
Leadership Summit on Improving Results for Youth. More than 250
state agency leaders, policymakers, and professionals representing
general education, special education, career and technical education,
workforce development, vocational rehabilitation, and other agencies
participated. Parents and youth with disabilities also participated
on several of the state teams. Teams representing 42 States and
other entities, including the Pacific Rim territories, U.S. Virgin
Islands, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, attended. The purpose of
the two-day event was to build state capacity to develop more results-driven
state systems so that youth with disabilities achieve more desirable
postschool outcomes. The Summit format was built around the work
of state teams rather than individuals which allowed states to harness
and channel the collective expertise of a diverse team of stakeholders
within each state.
