From Vision to Impact: Advancing 2026-27 District Priorities

Join district leaders from across California for an intimate leadership conversation and dinner focused on turning your strategic vision into measurable impact. 

Hosted by Newsela’s Chief Academic Officer, Dan Cogan-Drew, this evening is an opportunity to take a little time to reflect with colleagues, compare notes, and share a great meal. Together, we’ll explore the realities of district planning-what’s working, what’s blocking progress, and how we are advancing curriculum and assessment priorities for 2026-27.

Session Topics

• Defining and actioning your district's instructional vision
• Aligning Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) with long-term strategic goals
