Getting Smart Town Halls

Our monthly Town Halls create space to collaboratively design, discuss, and discover what’s next in learning. Our time together will help to build collective momentum and understanding, make us more aware of what the field needs next, and it better enables us to empower every learner to thrive and act with purpose.

Each month, Getting Smart hosts a town hall on a selected topic. During this collaborative time, attendees have the opportunity to learn, connect and ask questions about the future of learning. 

Do you have a topic you’d love to see covered? Email Mason with your thoughts.

Seizing the Opportunity for State Education R&D

Now is the time for states to step up and lead the way in prioritizing education R&D. Why? Because creating the right infrastructure and conditions for research and development can accelerate system-wide innovation, fuel evidence-based continuous improvement, and drive community-powered transformation. States are uniquely positioned to lead this work.

Join our Town Hall on May 20 at 10am PT, to dig into the new brief Seizing the Opportunity for State Education R&D: Findings and Recommendations for Action, co-written by our friends at Education Reimagined and Transcend, in partnership with the Alliance for Learning Innovation.

We’ll explore how Virginia and North Carolina have charted new paths—and what your state can learn from their leadership.
