In this webinar, Dr. Jackie Removcik from Hampton Township School District (PA) and Alison Fieberg from Del Mar Union School District (CA), share how their districts are making bold, learner-centered shifts through distributed leadership, clarity of vision, and intentional system redesign. Both districts highlight how whole-learner outcomes, strategic coherence, and empowered educators are helping transform teaching, learning, and school culture.

Questions explored include:

  • What Big Moves sparked learner-centered transformation in each district?
  • How did each district develop and implement a Portrait of a Learner that drives coherence and instructional change?
  • How are Guiding Coalitions, Design Teams, and teacher leadership structures enabling distributed leadership across schools?
  • What strategies support competency-based learning, reporting, and assessment aligned to whole-child outcomes?
  • How are professional learning systems evolving to support learner-centered instructional frameworks, cultures of thinking, and educator growth?
  • In what ways are districts integrating AI to support teaching, learning, and responsible use with students?
  • What advice do district leaders offer to others beginning a learner-centered systems transformation?

Watch now to learn how Hampton Township and Del Mar Union are creating vibrant, coherent ecosystems where whole-learner outcomes guide strategic planning, professional learning, and school design—and where empowered educators and students are central to driving meaningful learner-centered change.
