2011 Student Achievement Fair highlights Ohio’s top public school programs

COLUMBUS — The Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) Student Achievement Fair is a showcase of innovative programs Ohio public school districts have developed to promote exceptional student achievement.

Marking its 13th anniversary, the Student Achievement Fair at OSBA’s 56th annual Capital Conference and Trade Show will highlight scores of outstanding initiatives created by school districts from across the state. The four-hour celebration of learning and achievement begins at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in downtown Columbus. (Please see the list on the following page; there’s sure to be a district from your area participating.)

More than 10,000 school board members, administrators and guests are expected at the 2011 Capital Conference, one of the top state education conferences in the country. In addition, more than 600 exhibitors will display their goods and services at the Trade Show, the nation’s largest education trade exhibition. The conference, Ohio’s premier education event, runs Nov. 13-16.

Topics to be featured in presentations and displays at the Student Achievement Fair include: reading and math initiatives, energy conservation, performing and graphic arts, science, community service, living history, marine science, character building, technology, career-technical projects, alternative schools, problem-based learning and much more.
