26 ACSA North State PD Conference

Thriving schools address learning gaps by strengthening instructional systems rather than layering isolated interventions. This session supports district and school leaders in navigating the realities of today’s schools through coherent, sustainable instructional planning. Participants will actively examine learning progressions and cross-grade coherence to identify instructional priorities and coherent pathways across grade levels. Leaders will explore how aligned instruction and targeted supports inform decisions related to intervention, pacing, and resource allocation. Participants will leave with a leadership lens for building scalable practices that promote instructional coherence, equity, and long-term student success.
