Description: This workshop will focus on implementation indicators designed to help education systems build successful 
integration initiatives. First, presenters will provide a summary of data collected from over 60 school districts, charter 
management organizations and schools, and fair housing organizations focused on implementing integration initiatives. 
Next, presenters will provide an overview of a set of contextual factors and indicators that were identified as supportive 
to those initiatives. Participants will then be introduced to a self-assessment tool, based on those indicators, and will use 
the tool to reflect on integration efforts in their locale and share promising practices with colleagues.
