SUMMARY:Aligning Equity Goals with Student Outcomes in Challenging Political Times a Presentation at the ACSA Equity Institute
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHer 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: \n\nActionable steps to keep student outcomes at the center of decision-making\nA breakdown of Orenda’s learning acceleration formula\nInsights into the most common systemic inequity traps—and how to avoid them\n\nAs 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. \nFor more details on the session and the full ACSA Equity Institute agenda\, visit ACSA’s event page. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Ready to Be Stretched? Reimagining College and Career Readiness
DESCRIPTION:The push for College and Career Readiness is one of the most urgent—and misunderstood—challenges facing today’s K–12 school systems. While the phrase is widely used in education leadership spaces\, many districts still lack systemic clarity around what readiness truly means in practice. When this clarity is missing\, the unintended consequences disproportionately impact historically marginalized and vulnerable students. \nTrue college and career readiness is not a checklist\, a single pathway\, or a compliance exercise. It is a system-wide commitment to ensuring students graduate prepared for every postsecondary option—college\, career\, military\, or beyond. Achieving this level of readiness requires intentional system design\, aligned expectations\, and a willingness to examine long-standing inequities embedded in policy and practice. \nThis session brings together research\, system design\, and lived leadership experience to explore what it truly takes to build equitable pathways for student achievement. \nJoin Dr. Robin Avelar La Salle and Dr. Sarah Mott Gonzalez\, alongside partner superintendents Antonio Garcia and Ilsa Garza-Gonzales\, for a candid discussion on what it means to lead this work at the district level. Speakers will share real-world insights into redesigning systems\, aligning leadership teams\, and communicating a compelling vision for equity-driven student achievement. \nWhat Attendees Will Gain\nParticipants will leave with: \n\n\nClear\, actionable definitions of College and Career Readiness \n\n\nResearch-based insights grounded in equity-focused system design \n\n\nLeadership wisdom from superintendents actively doing the work \n\n\nCurrent labor market forecasting insights to inform strategic planning \n\n\nConcrete examples of how effective leaders mobilize followership around a shared vision \n\n\nThis session is designed for education leaders who are ready to be stretched—those committed to confronting inequities\, questioning assumptions\, and building systems that expand opportunity for every student. \nIf you are seeking clarity\, inspiration\, and practical tools to bring back to your leadership team\, we invite you to join us for this powerful conversation on the future of college and career readiness in K–12 education.

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.

SUMMARY:Beyond Busy Work: What True Rigor Looks Like at Every Grade Level
DESCRIPTION:What does rigor actually look like in the classroom? \nIt’s a word we use often in education\, but rigor isn’t about giving students more work\, harder texts\, or longer assignments. It’s about ensuring students are consistently engaging in the kind of thinking their grade-level standards demand. \nThis November\, Dr. Sarah Mott Gonzalez\, Vice President of College & Career\, and Dr. Erica Thomas\, Achievement Specialist\, of Orenda Education will bring that conversation to the 2026 ACSA Leadership Summit in their session\, Beyond Busy Work: What True Rigor Looks Like at Every Grade Level. \nUsing California’s CAASPP Smarter Balanced Item Specifications for ELA Claim 1: Reading\, Sarah and Erica will help participants examine what grade-level rigor actually looks like in daily instruction. Through the Claims\, Targets\, and Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels embedded in the California item specifications\, participants will have an opportunity to look more closely at the tasks students are being asked to complete and consider an important question: \nAre students being challenged to think deeply\, or are we simply keeping them busy? \nParticipants will explore the difference between surface-level work and true text-based rigor\, audit current reading tasks\, and practice redesigning assignments to better reflect the depth and complexity students are expected to demonstrate. \nMost importantly\, this is about making rigor actionable. Attendees will leave with practical tools for aligning reading instruction to Claim 1 targets so that what students are taught\, asked to practice\, and ultimately assessed on reflects the full depth of California’s grade-level expectations. \nBecause rigor isn’t about making reading harder. It’s about making sure students are doing the right kind of thinking. \nJoin us at the 2026 ACSA Leadership SummitFriday\, November 6\, 20262:15–3:15 PM PTSession P4P-06 \nWe hope to see you there!
