2025 Showcase for AcceleratED Leadership & Learning

Registration Open

The 2025 Showcase for AcceleratED Leadership & Learning is one-day professional learning event designed to help build the capacity of those who lead, teach, and serve students in Ohio’s schools and beyond.

This FREE event provides Ohio superintendents, principals, teachers, counselors, regional support staff, and others with the opportunity for inspiration, collaboration, and learning around integrated systems of support to accelerate leadership, instructional practices, and student learning.

Ohio presentation teams will share how their leadership, district, building, and teacher-based teams are using integrated multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) to meet the needs of all students around DEW’s education priorities:

• Literacy: Every student reading at or above grade level.
• Learning acceleration: Every student accelerates their learning in ELA and math through proactive, evidenced-based, and individualized supports they need to succeed.
• Student wellness: Learning environments are safe, supportive, and healthy so that students are ready to learn.
• Workforce readiness: Every student leaves the Ohio K-12 system with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to be part of a dynamically skilled, productive, and purposeful workforce. Ohio employers have access to a skilled, productive workforce.
• Effective and collaborative leadership: Using integrated team structures (for example: DLTs, BLTs, TBTs) to lead schools and share the responsibility for improving student performance.
