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 again including student-led concurrent sessions, student presentations, and student performances.
