Webinar Recording: How Districts Are Making Big Moves to Create Learner-Centered Systems

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.
