The State of Math Assessments: Where We Are and Where We Need to Be
In this session, we'll look at what math assessments look like today and what's needed to support students and teachers and to move every student toward success in math class and beyond. Assessments should not be scary tasks that create anxiety and confusion, but rather ways to uncover student thinking and create actionable plans to move all learners forward.

Listening First: From Student and Community Voice to Meaningful Action
A Unified Boards Alliance (UBA) prerecorded webinar with guest Chris McNutt of The Human Restoration Project. Schools collect more data than ever, yet numbers alone cannot fully explain how students and community members experience learning or why certain patterns emerge. This webinar explores why meaningful listening matters and what an authentic process looks like, from holding empathy-centered conversations to identifying key themes. It examines how qualitative "thick data" complements traditional measures by adding context, stories, values and perspectives often missing from dashboards and surveys. Participants are introduced to Polaris Education, a human-first platform designed to help schools understand conversations at scale and create a timely feedback loop between communities and decision-makers.

“Show Your Work” — Then AI Called My Bluff: Rethinking What Our Assessments Actually Measure
If AI can produce what we have been asking for, what were we actually asking for? This session is not about AI detection, policy or cheating; it addresses an older problem: assessment built around collecting output and predetermined outcomes rather than witnessing genuine learning. Attendees explore how to design assessment around the thinking process — the confusion, the unasked questions and the moment something clicks.

From Screening to Systems: Building a Sustainable, School-Wide MTSS
How can you get the most out of your universal screening data? In this session, we'll cover how to go from screening, to instruction, to results by maximizing the use of universal screening data in the MTSS framework. You'll walk away knowing how to use that data to create a clear, sustainable pathway for every student and make confident instructional decisions at every level.

What Is This Data Telling Me?
In this interactive session, we'll read universal screening data and discuss how we can respond to what it reveals. Even if our data doesn't look like the MTSS pyramid - most students thriving with a Tier 1 program, a smaller group needing intervention, and only a few needing intensive support - we'll work through how to build an instructional plan that fits our students.

From Screening Data to School Improvement
Screening data should do more than identify students at risk. This session explores how school leaders can use screening results to evaluate instructional effectiveness, examine patterns of student growth, and make informed decisions that drive school improvement.

Proving Impact in K-12: Why Research & Data Matter More Than Ever
In today's K-12 market, it's no longer enough to have a strong product or a compelling pitch. District leaders are under increasing pressure to show results—and that means proving impact, not just promising it. Led by Julie A. Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow and founder of the nationally recognized Speak Up Research Project, this session explores the critical role research and data collection play in implementing and sustaining new solutions in schools. Topics include what "impact" means to district leaders today, why research and data collection are critical for adoption and renewal, the role of impact studies in building trust and credibility, how districts use stakeholder data to make decisions, what types of solutions are showing measurable impact in classrooms, and how to design, communicate, and prove impact as an EdTech company.
