 Challenge Success offers dynamic conferences for schools, parents, and youth to come together to address issues of student health, school engagement, and academic integrity. Conferences take place at Stanford University, where school teams comprised of principals, teachers, parents, counselors, students, and other community members work together to create site-specific plans for school reform.
 We start our work with member schools by bringing them together for a two day event during the fall. School team members attend a Friday night plenary session that is free and open to the public. Keynote speakers are experts in child development, medicine, psychology, public health, college admissions, and/or education. These experts are joined by a panel of student speakers who offer personal viewpoints on academic stress and coping strategies. View the 2011 conference flyer.
See our 2011 Plenary Registration page here. The 2012 registration is coming soon!
 On Saturday, school teams reconvene to engage in hands-on workshops and planning time to create strategies for school change. Local member schools also receive a Challenge Success coach who offers guidance for several months following the conference as the team develops a plan to improve school policies and practices. View the Saturday 2011 workshop schedule.
 In the spring, school teams return to campus for a one day follow-up conference. School teams assess current strategies and work with other Challenge Success schools to solve problems and plan for the future.
