The Coalition's fall season opens August 27–28 with the Instructional Leaders Meeting at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. If you own instruction for a high school district — as an assistant superintendent of educational services, a director of curriculum, or the person your superintendent turns to when the question is "what is actually happening in our classrooms?" — this is your room.
What two days look like
Coalition meetings run on honest conversation, not conference-hall theater. Over two days you will sit with instructional leaders from districts across California, compare what is working and what is not, and get a clear read on the legislation ahead that will touch teaching and learning. You go home with ideas your district can use — and the phone numbers of the people who already tried them.
This fall, expect the age-of-AI question to be close to the center of the instructional conversation — it is the theme of our October State Conference for a reason, and instructional leaders are living it first: what students may use, what teachers should model, and what any of it means for how work gets assessed.
