Additional information about the ULA program and workshops,
including registration information, will be sent to participants

Education and Conference Center (formerly the Earle Brown Center) at
the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus.
A partnership between the College of Education and Human
Development at the University of Minnesota and Twin Cities area
school districts, the ULA seeks to provide high quality professional
development opportunities to assist school leaders in creating high
performance schools, and to enhance teaching and learning in an era
of rapid political, social, economic, cultural, and educational
change.
