Educators across the country are deepening their practice, expanding their networks, and sustaining their purpose through shared learning. This fall, two powerful learning opportunities, on opposite coasts, offer space to reflect, recharge, and lead forward.

November 7-9, 2025 – San Bruno, California
The San Francisco Coalition of Essential Small Schools (SF-CESS) will bring back Fall Forum in 2025 as a national gathering for educators to share practice, build relationships, and engage in courageous dialogue about the future of education. With the theme “We Are Not Alone”, Fall Forum brings together practitioners, students, and thought leaders to explore what’s possible when we lead with purpose, build with others, and stay rooted in shared struggle and collective vision.

Wherever you are, there’s a place for you to connect and grow. Whether you’re on the East Coast or the West Coast, or willing to travel, both events offer meaningful space to reflect on your leadership, connect with a learning community, and take action to support thriving schools.
