SUMMARY:Orenda Acceleration Summit - Accelerate Learning for LTELs
DESCRIPTION:Part Two: Instructional Strategies for LTEL Students \nJoin Dr. Robin Avelar La Salle and the Orenda Education team for a highly engaging\, action-oriented session designed for teacher teams\, teacher leaders\, instructional coaches\, and administrators who support Long-Term English Learners (LTELs). This session is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their instructional practice and for those who were unable to attend Part One. \nThis powerful summit focuses on POWERFUL TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR LTEL STUDENTS. Grounded in research\, participants will explore strategies to ensure LTELs and other struggling students gain more than a year’s worth of learning in a single year. \nKey Highlights: \n\nDiscover a set of high-impact\, low-prep instructional routines designed to accelerate learning rather than remediate.\nWatch live demo lessons of each strategy with clear research “call-outs” explaining the rationale behind each step.\nParticipate in guided team planning to “try on” the strategies and adapt them to your own classroom context.\nConnect with fellow educators committed to breaking down inequities and raising achievement for all struggling students\, including LTELs.\n\n🌟 Breakfast and lunch are included with registration.\n📢 Space is limited—reserve your spot today!

SUMMARY:Acceleration Formula: Using Baseline Systems Studies to Advance Educational Excellence
DESCRIPTION:Achieving educational excellence and academic achievement for every student requires more than isolated initiatives—it demands a deep understanding of the systems and conditions shaping student outcomes. For many school and district leaders\, inequities persist not because of a lack of effort\, but because the root causes remain hidden within policies\, practices\, and long-standing structures. \nThe Acceleration Formula session explores how Baseline Systems Studies can help leaders surface these root causes and use evidence to drive meaningful\, system-wide change—especially for historically underserved and vulnerable student populations. \nFacilitated by Janet Hwang\, Vice President at Orenda\, this presentation highlights how a Baseline Systems Study provides districts with a clear\, comprehensive view of how existing systems are producing current results. Rather than focusing solely on outcomes\, leaders are supported in examining the conditions\, decisions\, and structures that shape student achievement. \nParticipants will also hear directly from Westminster School District’s Superintendent\, Dr. Gunn Marie Hansen\, and Chief Academic Officer\, Michelle Watkins\, who will share their firsthand experience using study findings to guide targeted\, sustainable implementation across their school communities. Their leadership story offers a compelling example of how intentional systems analysis can lead to tangible improvements in teaching\, learning\, and academic achievement for all students. \nWhat Participants Will Learn\nAttendees will leave with practical insights and tools\, including: \n\n\nHow to uncover systemic barriers to equityLearn how a Baseline Systems Study reveals the underlying systems\, policies\, and practices shaping student outcomes—particularly for historically marginalized groups. \n\n\nA real-world example of systemic transformationExplore Westminster School District’s journey from study findings to actionable strategies that drive coherent\, district-wide improvement. \n\n\nA framework to drive collective actionGain access to a replicable process for conducting systems analysis and engaging cross-functional teams in continuous improvement work aligned to shared goals. \n\n\nThis session is designed for district and school leaders committed to moving beyond surface-level change and toward equity-driven system redesign. If you are seeking clarity\, structure\, and a proven approach to accelerating achievement\, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable guidance.
