This year, the National Summit on Improvement in Education is gathering with Deeper Learning 2027 to do something neither community can do alone: build the bold ideas, fast learning, and system shifts that make ambitious instruction real for every student. Your Summit 27 registration includes full access to both events.
This isn’t two conferences happening side by side. It’s one campus, one week, and one community digging in together — testing bold ideas, scaling what’s working, and leaving with the methods, resources, and relationships the methods, resources, and relationships that move the needle on literacy, math, attendance, on-track rates, college access, and more.
Summit 27 will be hosted by the National Coalition for Improvement in Education. Like Summit 26, it will be designed with the community, for the community. Join us as we get better at getting better. Register today!
Your Summit 27 registration unlocks DL27 too. Build your own lineup on our digital scheduler — you’ll be auto-assigned to the Improvement track and free to select and attend any DL27 session that catches your attention. Bring your team, bring your questions, bring what you’ve been wrestling with. We’ll dig in together.

We want to spotlight work that has gotten compelling results for young people, work that’s in progress and ready for collective feedback, and sessions that build our shared capacity to apply improvement methods and catalyze system transformation. We’re seeking proposals in three formats — 60 or 90-minute interactive workshops across 3 strands: Getting Results, Improvement Methods, and Leading Improvement, 75-minute Improvement Reviews, and poster sessions.
Need guidance? Check out the Request for Proposals info.
Proposals deadline: September 11, 2026
Continuous improvement–also known as improvement science–is a deeply optimistic and collaborative process of using bold ideas and sustainable steps to drive real change in education. Together, we improvers examine root causes, test smarter solutions, and scale up what succeeds — creating better outcomes for every student.
