Transforming Schools into Strong Learning Communities Summary Report
In December 2003, the National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future (NCTAF) hosted its second national summit on "Transforming Schools into Strong Learning Communities" at Wingspread. The summit focused on transforming schools into learning communities that meet the needs of all students. K-16 researchers, policymakers, and practitioners defined the term “learning community”, discussed why such communities are important and how to transform the schools into such communities.

The NCTAF web site has some of the pre-summit reading materials, a bibliography of suggested materials on learning communities, and a list of summit participants.
