Igniting the Future Summit

Beyond test scores. Beyond limits. Into the future!

Igniting the future Summit in Dallas Texas March 9 - 11, 2026

The traditional formula for student success isn't keeping pace with today's reality. Children are venturing into an entirely new universe of opportunities that call for new approaches to leadership, teaching and learning.

AASA’s Igniting the Future Summit will tackle this head-on, bringing forward-thinking education leaders together for three days that will shift how you think about preparing students for futures we can't yet imagine.

 You’ll explore:
  • Dual-Lens Learning Design: Discover what personalized, student-centered learning looks like from both the educator's implementation perspective and the student's experience.
  • Metrics That Move Systems: Learn how measuring what truly matters transforms decision-making, resource allocation, and outcomes across your entire district.
  • Life Readiness by Design: Explore strategies for creating learning experiences and environments that build authentic, transferable skills students need for tomorrow's opportunities.

The children in your classrooms today need leaders who can prepare them not only for tests, but for real life. Be one of those leaders. Join us in Mansfield, Texas!
