Panel 1: Making Sense of the Midterms, Dupont Ballroom

Right off the heels of the 2022 midterm elections, we’ll unpack the results and the implications for both the policy and political environment for the second half of the Biden administration, and what it means for 2024.

Panel 2: Sparking Innovation in Education, Dupont Ballroom

There’s no question that the status quo wasn’t working before the pandemic, and it’s certainly not working now. During this conversation, we’ll discuss new, innovative approaches to education that prove promising for advancing educational equity and for preparing students for the jobs of the future.

Lunch Discussion: Engaging Gen Z Voters

Panel Series 1

Building the Leadership Advocacy Pipeline for Ed Reform

As we look to the future, it’s imperative that we build a pipeline of diverse leaders who will fight for a high-quality, equitable public education for every child. During this panel, we’ll speak with those leading in the recruitment and development of pathway programs to discuss how we inspire the next generation of ed reform champions. 

K:12 Focus: Roadmap to Recovery, Dupont Ballroom

As students strive to recover missed learning from the pandemic, we’re discussing promising, evidence-based practices in K-12 education with the leaders who have spearheaded their adoption – providing a blueprint for more states to follow.

Panel Series 2

Higher Ed Focus: What Does Fair Admissions Look Like?, Dupont Ballroom

With SCOTUS set to take up affirmative action, we’ll unpack what fair practices in higher education admissions looks like, and how the federal government, states, and colleges and universities can support equitable access to higher ed.

Combating the Politicization of Public Charter Schools, Georgetown Room

Despite both the strong evidence-base for public charter schools and the continued demand from parents, public charter schools have frequently become a political football. During today’s panel, we’ll discuss how advocates can combat the political headwinds to ensure high quality public charter schools continue to remain a thriving part of our public education system.
