Summary of the three days of the Engaging America's Talent (EAT) Conference
by Jeremy Lusk 6/28/2010

Welcome to Engaging America’s Talent Wiki. This interactive discussion is focused on sharing relevant information on educational models that are successful and analyzing characteristics that contribute to to this success. It is our hope that by sharing  with others in our community we may improve and expand our educational outreach efforts. This wiki is also an opportunity to share knowledge related to other very successful educational models that may be occurring in your community and/or to request information concerning new models that you want to understand better. 

To post a message or request information please contact one of the wiki administrators:

 Engaging America’s Talent Conference had multiple interactive sessions in which the conference participants analyzed the common features of the models that were presented and tried to determine the characteristics of each series of outreach models that contributed to their success.   The threads below are the collective summaries from the interactive Google Buzz Analysis for each session on each day following the topic presentations.
