Detroit School Brings Home Top National Renaissance(R) Conference Award MADISON, Wis., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognized for their "outstanding student achievement," Harms Elementary School, located in Detroit, Mich., was awarded the Dreamers Wakethe Nation Award at the fifth annual National Renaissance Conference. The Dreamers Wake the Nation Award is the top recognition handed out at the annual event. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20001108/RENAISSANCELOGO ) The National Renaissance Conference, which was held March 16-19 in Orlando, Fla., is hosted once a year by Renaissance Learning(R), Inc., a leading provider of learning information systems and school improvement programs for pre-K-12 schools. Accepting the award for Harms Elementary was Principal Patricia Diaz, who has been with Detroit Public Schools for thirty-one years. She has been the Principal at Harms Elementary for the past six years and has previously been honored as "Outstanding Principal." Unlike the majority of Detroit schools put on the Michigan failing schools list, Harms Elementary continues to improve in both reading and math. "We're an 80 percent Hispanic school with limited English proficient students," says Diaz, "and yet we have had incrediblesuccess. We have become a school of readers." Diaz attributes much of her school's success to the implementation of both Reading and Math Renaissance, which include supplemental programs like Accelerated Reader(R) and Accelerated Math(R). "We just received our scores for math," says Diaz, "and I'm tickled to death. It was the first year we used Accelerated Math schoolwide and the scores for grades 2-5 were out of this world! Reading Renaissance and Math Renaissance are invaluable tools in urban schools like ours." This year's National Renaissance Conference was attended by about 3,000 educators from across the country who gathered to network with others dedicated to educating our nation's children, receive professional development training, hear motivational speakers, and view Renaissance Learning's newest products and services. Taking center stage this year were demonstrations of Renaissance Place(R), the Company's enterprise wide suite of products which offers centralized data and web-based consolidated school- and district-wide reporting, and English in a Flash(TM), a revolutionary new research-based product to help teachers address the needs of ELL (English language learners) and ESL (English as a second language) students. The 2004National Renaissance Conference was also highlighted by keynote presentations by Wally Amos, founder of Famous Amos cookies and nationally recognized literacy advocate, Mary Pope Osborne, author of the Magic Tree House children's series, and Jim Trelease, motivational speaker and author of The Read-Aloud Handbook. Attendees were treated to the opportunity to meet many famous authors and attend several of the more than 100 professional development workshops offered on a variety of subjects -- from the latest teaching techniques and research to funding opportunities, technology briefings, and detailed discussions of Renaissance products. The 2005 National Renaissance Conference will be held March 3-6 in San Antonio, Texas.
