In early January, 2008, over 600 participants from the Newport News Public Schools in Virginia attended an international conference at Christopher Newport University to examine 21st Century schooling: teaching, learning, and leading our students into a global economy. Speakers from England, China, the US, and Tasmania participated both virtually and in person.
One year later (January, 2009) Newport News Public Schools reconvened to share what has taken place in the district, schools, and classrooms for the past year.
