The Fall Meeting originated with our colleagues at SRI as an annual gathering of learning with the entire community. We are pleased to bring this event back to give educators the opportunity to share and learn from colleagues all over the world.
The Fall Meeting is a transformative experience that goes far beyond a typical educational conference. It’s a vibrant gathering where the power of collective intelligence and collaborative problem-solving comes to life. As an educator committed to continuous growth, I’ve found this annual event to be an invaluable source of inspiration and professional development.

What makes the Fall Meeting unique is the focus to combine theory of adult learning and the practice to put in place structures to honor this theory. Our work at the Fall Meeting actively requires participation and deep, reflective practice. Practice here is a noun and a verb; we don’t just sit and listen; we engage, challenge, and grow together. We engage in meaningful discussions, challenge our assumptions, and develop innovative strategies to implement in our own settings. With the diversity of voices and perspectives, we become better in our practice and more open to multiple outcomes.
Fall Meeting allows us to connect with like-minded professionals who share our passion for improving education for all students. At its core, this gathering is driven by a commitment to equity and opportunity for all students. It can be lonely out there navigating the ever-changing landscape of educational theory, practice and politics. Working with new partners and hearing fresh ideas opens our minds to alternative viewpoints. It has been a source of reinvigoration for me when I’ve fallen into my own box and routine.
I know I will come out of the Fall Meeting feeling better about myself, about thoughtful colleagues from around the country, and about the future of education.
