Webinar Recording: Bridging Systems to Transform Student Learning: Lessons From SoCal LiNK

In this webinar, five education leaders share lessons from their experience with SoCal LiNK, a Southern California regional network focused on advancing learner-centered education through collaboration, research, and community building. The webinar panel includes representatives from K–12 schools, higher education, and learner-centered organizations, specifically: Devin Vodicka (LCC Co-CEO), Dr. Alan J. Daly and David Trautman (UC San Diego), Dr. Diana Cornejo-Sanchez (CEO, High Tech High), and Krista Berntsen (Principal, Del Mar Union School District).

Questions explored include:

  • What is the vision and approach of SoCal LiNK, and how does it differ from other improvement or partnership initiatives?
  • What drew your districts to this work, and how does it connect to a broader vision for learner-centered education?
  • How has SoCAL LiNK influenced learning or leadership practices in your district’s context?
  • What have you learned about the value and complexity of working across systems?
  • How might this kind of collaboration evolve to support broader transformation across the region?
  • What advice would you offer to others seeking to build similar cross-sector partnerships?
