Request for Student Presentations at CCSA In 2015, the Collaborative Conference on Student Achievement (CCSA) began to include student voices in the conversation around academic achievement.  Because of the positive reception, we have extended this focus to include student-led concurrent sessions.  This year, we are pleased to announce that we will continue this tradition by once again including student-led concurrent sessions as well as student presentations as a keynote session during Tuesday's luncheon. For more detailed information on both the concurrent and keynote sessions click here.    If you are aware of student presenters or an adult mentor who would like to bring students to present at the CCSA conference please have them complete the Student Session Proposal Form for the concurrent session, the keynote session, or both.  Proposals must be submitted before January 27, 2017.  If you have any questions about the concurrent session, please contact Justyn.Knox@dpi.nc.gov.  If you have questions about the keynote session, please contact Fay.Gore@dpi.nc.gov.
