Summer Spark '26

This year’s workshops and sessions are intentionally aligned to our district priorities and initiatives—including Portrait of a Graduate competencies, Evidence of Learning, Student Learning Experience, and Continuous Improvement—so your time is focused, relevant, and impactful.

This year’s learning experience is designed around a dynamic new format, including:

• Keynote with Dr. Kalia Reynolds, setting the tone and vision for the year ahead through the lens of the Portrait of a Graduate

• 70-minute workshops for deeper exploration of high-impact instructional practices

• 45-minute sessions for focused, targeted skill building

• Poster sessions for informal, drop-in learning and collaboration

Throughout Summer Spark, you’ll engage in:

• Hands-on, classroom-ready workshops grounded in real practice

• Sessions led by district curriculum supervisors and instructional leaders highlighting what’s working across our schools

• Learning connected to district initiatives, helping you move shared goals forward

Whether you’re refining instruction, exploring new strategies to engage students, or collaborating with colleagues, Summer Spark 2026 is your space to learn, create, and connect—with purpose.
