Meeting 51 Summary

Our meeting on October 31-November 1 in Elk Grove represented an important progression from recent emphases on the immediate challenges facing school districts as they navigate various stages of pandemic recovery, including attention to elevating whole-child well-being, advancing racial justice, and fostering coherence in the face of multiple competing priorities for educators' time and attention. During Meeting 51, participants deepened our attention to coherence by sharpening our focus on teaching and learning using the lens of an instructional framework in Elk Grove to explore approaches to cultivating educator commitment and improving teacher practice.
