The forum will be held at the Wilmington Hilton from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is being co-sponsored by the UNC-Wilmington School of Education, the Southeast Technical Assistance Center and the Consortium for the Advancement of Public Education (CAPE). Forum direction will be based upon ideas generated from discussions that have taken place over the past two years in meetings of faculty in the School of Education with local educators regarding SAT scores and related instructional issues. Forum speakers will focus on acadcmic excellence, wii> SAT scores as one indicator. Robert Tyndall, dean ot' 'ho UNC-W School of Education, said forum partici pants will look at ways to help increase SAT scores, par ticularly for low achieving students. Speakers will include James R. Leutze, chanccllor, Paula B. Potter, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, Chattanooga (Tenn.) Public Schools, and Larry Matthews, associate director of admissions and guidance services. College Board Regional Office, Atlanta. In addition to general sessions, time will be set aside for meetings of school system personnel and of con stituent groups to collaborate in creating a community wide plan for promoting academic excellence. At a recent forum on the UNC-W campus, Leutze noted that SAT scores, while debatable in terms of their value, "are the currency of the realm," as a leading indi cator of student readiness for college-level work. Higher SAT scores for entering freshmen is considered a gain for a college. This past year the average SAT score for incoming freshman at UNC-W was 940, while the average SAT score for southeastern North Carolina students was 800. As UNC-W's regional reputation continues to grow and 6,000 or more students continue applying for the 1,200 spaccs in its freshman class, ii cxpccis the average SAT score of those accepted to also increase, said Lcutzc. "We must close the gap as the university raises its standards," said Tyndall, "or we will be eliminating stu dents in the region wc arc trying to serve." UNC-W is willing to help area school systems do that in areas ranging from sharing technological knowl edge to providing teacher in-service training, student teacher preparation and student achievement recogni tion, and helping with planning and goal-setting. "Schools and educators are pulled in so many direc tions," he said. "Wc need to focus on outcome, not the change of the month or the program of the month. If it is effective and gets outcomes, wc don't really have to re name it every year." Lcutzc envisions several emphases in regional school improvement efforts, giving importance to tech nology in general and educational technology specifical ly; student academic excellence; and higher student re tention rates.
