Residents proudly "Keep Austin Weird" in the 78704 zip code while neighborhoods like Travis Heights, Barton Hills and Bouldin Creek reflect highly diverse personalities: you'll discover historic homes next to modern architecture featured in magazines. A progressive, creative, personality-packed part of town, find folks who grow their own food, ride bikes to the neighborhood bar (many of Austin's "it" bars reside on the east side) and enjoy weekend farmers' markets. With a slower pace than downtown–but only a short bike ride away–this delightfully diverse area of kind folks and hip businesses is also growing into one of Austin's favorite places to hang out.

Back roads and expressways. Junctions and crossroads. Blind curves and dead ends. For educators, navigating the road to success can be difficult. What’s the best route to take? How do I shift course and stay on track? What if I am completely lost? Nobody begins the journey to educational excellence from the same starting point. And while there are some reliable paths, everyone’s journey is unique. SEDL provides educators with the guidance and support they need to reach their destinations. We help you identify where you are, chart the best course to take, and navigate the roadblocks. And when needed, we go off-road to help you blaze a new path. We tailor the roadmap to your journey. And we use our expertise and the latest research to drive innovation and change. Our goal is to help you reach the ultimate destination—student success. Here are some ways we helped clients reach their destinations in 2010. 22 SEDL | ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Letter from the President and CEO Dear Friends: Educators faced significant challenges in 2010—from struggling to accomplish more with fewer resources to trying to solve persistent problems in school performance. To address these challenges, SEDL has worked side-by-side with policymakers, practitioners, and researchers at every level of the system, and I am proud to report the results of our efforts.
