The first years of leading a district come with plenty of questions, and you do not have to figure them all out on your own.

Summit ESC’s Entry Level Superintendents PLC creates space for early-career superintendents to talk candidly about challenges, share resources, ask questions, and learn from one another.

Join us September 10 for a leadership roundtable facilitated by Dr. Christina Dinklocker.

AI policies are an important first step, but the work cannot stop there.

As districts prepare for the 2026–27 school year, the conversation is shifting toward how AI can be integrated effectively, responsibly, and practically across schools.

Summit ESC AI Consultant Scott Ross has been working with districts to help staff move beyond the “what” of AI and begin thinking about the “how,” with strategies they can put into practice to better support students.

Is your district ready to take the next step with AI? Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/5f8wxd65

How do you challenge advanced learners without simply giving them more work?

Join Summit ESC for Vertical Differentiation: Strategies that Stretch Student Thinking on October 28 and explore practical, classroom-ready strategies designed to increase cognitive rigor and move students beyond surface-level learning.

Educators will work with thinking models, explore how to create “just-right friction” in learning, and leave with tools they can use immediately to deepen thinking and increase challenge in the classroom.

Did you know? A student’s readiness to learn is shaped by more than academic ability. Feeling safe, supported, connected, and understood can also influence how students participate and respond in the classroom.

As the new school year begins, consider how your classroom or school can create opportunities for students to build trust, develop a sense of belonging, and access the support they need to succeed.

A strong start to the school year is built before students enter the classroom.

As educators and leaders prepare to welcome students back, consider these four ways to begin the year with greater focus:

-Clarify the priorities that will guide your team
-Create space for staff questions and collaboration
-Review the systems that support student needs
-Identify professional learning that can strengthen the work ahead

Thoughtful preparation now can help create a more confident and connected start for educators and students.
