DREAM 2016
2016 ATD annual conference on Student Success was held in Atlanta, Georgia from Feb 23-26. This flagship event brought together over 1,900 influential policy-makers, investors, thought-leaders, and practitioners from more than 200 colleges throughout 34 states and the District of Columbia, who are dedicated to addressing one of our nation’s most urgent challenges: helping more community college students succeed. Similar to previous years, Triton College sent a small group to the conference in order to learn best practices from other colleges.
This year's conference session themes were based on Achieving the
Dream's Institutional Capacity Framework, a foundational part of the
institutional improvement model, identified by seven areas in which
colleges need sufficient capacity to develop a student-focused culture
that fosters overall systemic transformation.
- Leadership & Vision
- Data & Technology
- Equity
- Teaching & Learning
- Engagement & Communication
- Strategy & Planning
- Policies & Practices
