“The first Lexile Conference was held in 2004, and I have not missed one since,” said Margaret Reed, Reading Specialist from East Elementary of Kodiak Island Borough School District in Alaska. “The Lexile Framework for Reading is a tool that has facilitated reading growth in my students more than any other single tool. For this conference, MetaMetrics melds together the highest quality speakers, information and ideas to create a meaningful conference that will have an immediate and lasting impact on students.”  (Registration will open in a new browser window)
At a Glance: 2008 Lexile National Conference & Quantile Symposium
Dates: June 16–19, 2008
Theme: Successful Teachers, Successful Students
Overview: Successful teachers foster successful students by providing them with targeted instruction and resources that meet and challenge their individual abilities and interests. MetaMetrics’ 2008 Lexile National Conference & Quantile Symposium will explore how today’s educators are raising student achievement in reading, writing and mathematics and preparing them for the postsecondary demands of higher education, the workplace and life. Administrators, classroom teachers and librarians will share their unique perspectives on implementing and using The Lexile Frameworks for Reading and Writing to differentiate instruction and promote the reading-writing connection—the importance of reading in the development of student writing ability.
New for 2008, an entire day will be devoted to The Quantile Framework for Mathematics. The Quantile Symposium will focus on the significance of mathematics in and outside of the classroom and highlight how educators are using Quantile measures to measure student readiness and monitor growth.
The Lexile National Conference & Quantile Symposium is a collaborative forum to share innovative ideas and proven practices for linking assessment with the instructional resources that make differentiation possible.
