At Orenda, we know that real progress in education happens when student outcomes remain the priority—especially in complex political landscapes. That’s why we’re excited to continue our partnership with ACSA at the 2025 Equity Institute, where Dr. Robin Avelar La Salle will lead a timely session on balancing competing interests while staying focused on what matters most: students.

Her session, Aligning Equity Goals with Student Outcomes in Challenging Political Times, will offer practical strategies for leaders navigating shifting policies, resource constraints, and the ever-present urgency to improve learning conditions for all students. Attendees will walk away with concrete takeaways, including:

• Actionable steps to keep student outcomes at the center of decision-making
• A breakdown of Orenda’s learning acceleration formula
• Insights into the most common systemic inequity traps—and how to avoid them

As long-time partners with ACSA, we’re committed to supporting educational leaders in their work to create learning environments that are equitable, effective, and student-centered. Join us on Thursday, March 13th, from 2:45 to 3:45 P.M. at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Berkeley Marina for this critical discussion.

We look forward to seeing you there!
