The Fall Forum is CES’s primary networking and professional development event, bringing together several thousand educators, students, parents, and leading thinkers in education from around the world to exchange ideas, ask questions, and share insights about effective school practices and designs. The conference consists of workshops, interest group gatherings, and other sessions in the content strands of teaching, learning, and assessment; school culture, practices, and design; leadership; and community connections.
The goals of the Fall Forum are to:
Deepen practitioners' understanding of how the CES Common Principles can guide change and improve outcomes for all students
Provide opportunities for attendees to network with others about their experiences and efforts to redesign their classrooms, schools, and districts
Allow attendees to hear from and exchange ideas with leading figures in American education today
Stimulate conversations about issues of importance
Influence people to embrace CES ideas and priorities
