Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Participants Only

The Carnegie Foundation Summit on Improvement in Education provides a unique opportunity for a vibrant and diverse community committed to educational improvement to come together, learn from one another, and sharpen their collective focus on results. At the Summit, we celebrate the innovators and improvers who are building systems that better serve teachers, students, and communities.

The Summit brings together a community of movement makers who are actively learning and sharing strategies to empower educators and communities, advance continuous improvement, and achieve significant results. Participants in the Spring 2025 Summit will meet in small groups and engage in interactive experiences, reflection, and dialogue.

Workshops will showcase stories from a diverse set of improvers making a meaningful impact on student lives and educational systems at the classroom, school, district, or network level. Sessions will explore ways to strengthen improvement practices, advance the field, and provide opportunities to deeply engage with improvement methods, applying insights to participants' own contexts. The program will also feature Fireside Chats, Improvement Reviews, and Community Advisory sessions.
