New Pathways: Arizona

Join us January 21st and 22nd, 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona to witness innovative pathways through an unbundling learning ecosystem.

Forging Learner Pathways in Phoenix

What does a future look like where education, work, and community are fully connected? How do we ensure every learner in Arizona can access and benefit from new, flexible pathways to success?

This convening will illuminate pathways through a new, unbundled learning ecosystem for Arizona. We will spotlight innovative models like microschools and out-of-system learning, and explore how to co-design pathways that power our communities. Our work will focus on co-designing connected, learner-centered pathways with a focus on Manufacturing, Technology, and the Arts, ensuring that our systems reflect the true strengths and needs of our communities.

Join us as we bring together partners like the Phoenix Chamber, ASU, and more to identify the tools and strategies needed to build and sustain a more equitable and connected future for every learner.

Last year, we had a conversation with key players in Arizona’s unbundled ecosystem. By leveraging partnerships with local businesses and educational institutions, initiatives like those led by ASU Prep and the Greater Phoenix Chamber are providing students with real-world learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom.
