About the Event

Gathering Educators and Communities Committed to Equity

The SF-CESS Fall Forum is our signature annual gathering — a space where educators, leaders, and community members come together to share practices, deepen inquiry, and strengthen the collective work of building schools where every child is known well and supported to succeed.

Each year the Forum centers a theme that animates our network’s current learning. Attendees participate in workshops, panels, and facilitated conversations grounded in SF-CESS’ equity-focused frameworks.
