preparing4ward: 5th annual accountability symposium
If the refresh of the A-F Accountability System in 2023 taught us anything, it’s that it pays to be prepared! 

Now is time to build our understanding and grow the capacity of our leadership teams to confidently support teachers and students as we finish out the last year of A-F 2.0 (2026-27) and forge ahead to 2027-28 … a year with a new assessment (SST) and a refreshed accountability system (A-F 3.0). 

Our 5th Annual Accountability Symposium is a one-day event designed for district and campus leaders who want up-to-the-minute information on assessment and accountability to support systems for 2027 A-F Ratings and plan for the 2028 A-F Refresh. 

what’s on the agenda?

• Deciphering the refresh: What’s changing for 2028 and what isn’t.
• 2027 system and actionable insights: Solidifying understanding for 2027 to leverage what we know about assessment and accountability and focus on growth.
• CCMR spotlight: Mapping the path for current-year grads to the 2029-30 grads.
• Smart tools: Using accountabilityconnect templates for sharpening instructional monitoring.
• The “unknowns”: Tackling SST transitions and HB 8 mandates head-on. 

In short, we’ll focus on where we are and where we’re going.

Join us for a day of clarity, collaboration, and capacity building to lead student learning and support campus and district success. Let’s grow wild!
