The most stirring speech of the 2009 National Charter Schools Conference in Washington DC quickly became one of the most requested via Twitter (keyword #charterconf).
Dr. Howard Fuller, founding chairman of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, addressed 1,500 charter school supporters headed to Capitol Hill for the largest advocacy effort in the movement's history:
“...If this movement is going to mean anything, we’ve got to close that achievement gap. We’ve got to eliminate that achievement gap.”

Make plans now, the 2010 National Charter Schools Conference is destined for Chicago.
