Convened by the Coalition of Essential Schools as our annual "conversation among friends," Fall Forum provides the essential tools, knowledge, contacts, and vision to create and sustain personalized, equitable, academically challenging schools that prepare all students for successful lives. Fall Forum is the embodiment of more than 25 years of principled and proved educational practices that support all young people in all communities to learn to use their minds well. Drawing from a network of hundreds of schools and affiliated organizations, we provide support, insight, and real answers to what works to create great schools for the long haul.
