It was energizing to join colleagues from across the country at the AcceleratED convening hosted by the Gates Foundation.
We wrapped up another meaningful Experiential Site Visit with North Kansas City Schools, a district that continues to model what strong pathway implementation looks like in practice.
Starting next week, ESV attendees will tour four NKC high schools to see the work of career-connected learning in action. They’ll meet directly with district leaders and will participate in collaborative deep-dive sessions that drive instructional transformation.
Meet Arnel Dela Cruz, who has attended several Experiential Site Visits to gain insight into effective pathway implementation.
What does it look like when an entire district commits to a unified, collaborative approach to college and career pathways?
NKC Schools is about to show it again. This year’s Experiential Site Visit offers a fresh, up‑close look at a system that’s fully aligned and delivering.
Join us for the North Kansas City Experiential Site Visit! March 10-12, 2026; The last day to register is Wednesday 3/4/26.
