      • A Collective Vision for Student Success: Creation, Implementation, and Assessment of your Vision of a Learner

        Presenters:
        • Alyson Geary, Director for Accreditation and School Improvement, NEASC Commission on Public Schools
        • Carl Johnson, Associate Director for Accreditation and School Improvement, NEASC Commission on Public Schools

        Join educational leaders and NEASC staff as they share their journeys to create a Vision of a Learner to articulate their school’s learning goals for their students.

        Learn how schools across New England have used this guiding document to align curriculum, bring staff together around shared philosophy, and assess student success. Presenters and NEASC staff will share examples of successful implementation, and resources and ideas for bringing this process in your school.

        Designed for group participation, this workshop is an opportunity to work collaboratively, with your school team or with others, to understand the importance and implications of developing a Vision of a Learner, consider your school's values and learning goals, and start to understand the importance of authentic assessment for that vision.

        All participants will receive a handbook for implementation and access to a library of resources and exemplars from public, independent, and international schools.

      • Connecting Research to Practice: Transforming Systems Serving Multilingual Learners

        Presenters:
        • Jon Nordmeyer, Co-Director, Multilingual Learning Research Center
        • Carrie Parker, Co-Director, Multilingual Learning Research Center

        How can schools and districts best serve increasingly diverse student populations? How can leaders design systems that leverage multilingualism and support multilingual learner success? This interactive preconference will build shared understanding of how leaders can connect research to practice and build collective efficacy in serving multilingual learners and their families. Using a systems change approach, we will share insights from action research projects designed and implemented at schools around the world to study new strategies and systematically collect data to understand what works and why. You will leave with tools to apply in your own context and opportunities to collaborate within a cohort connecting research to practice.

      • Next Generation Curriculum Design for Transformative Learning

        Presenters:
        • Sharyn Skrtic, International Accreditation Leader, NEASC Commission on International Education
        • Diane Ullman, International Accreditation Leader, NEASC Commission on International Education
        • Kelly Lyman, Coordinator, Executive Leadership Program, University of Connecticut

        This interactive workshop brings together three essential dimensions of transformational learning: designing future-ready curriculum, developing meaningful assessment systems, and creating aligned learner and teacher profiles that reflect a school’s vision for high-quality learning.

        Grounded in the NEASC ACE Learning Principles, a Framework for High-Quality Learning, and emerging global education priorities, participants will explore how schools can build coherent systems that connect curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and learner outcomes in ways that prepare students to thrive in an unpredictable and rapidly changing world.
