2026-2027 – A Bright and Shiny Future
June 18, 2026 | 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM
During our monthly meetups, we normally look at questions posed by district members. This month we are changing things up a little bit. Instead, we are going to showcase and review the upcoming events related to SMCAA for the 2026-2027 school year! Come join us and learn more about….
- Changes coming to our SMCAA Cohorts, including our brand-new Leaders in Curriculum cohort!
- Our SMCAA Fall Summits
- Changes coming to our SMCAA Staff and consultants
- SMCAA’s goals and vision for 2026-2027
Time will also be given for participants to ask questions of the SMCAA staff, while also posing any questions for the group that they want to discuss. This meetup is open to both district members and non-members, so come join us to see what changes are on the horizon as we look towards a bright and shiny 26-27!
As always, any individual within our member districts is welcome to attend the Monthly Meetups. Feel free to invite others within your district who may focus more directly on with computer science instruction to share and participate in this relevant and engaging topic!
Monthly Meetup padlet (https://padlet.com/SMCAAResources/monthlymeetups ) to share your district’s resources to help aid in our collaboration!
Meet-ups will be casual in nature and allow YOU the chance to ask questions you have related to all things related to curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The open-forum format will give you the chance to hear not only from SMCAA personnel, but also from fellow members from across the state who join us during the meet-ups.
