The new event will be held Thursday, September 11 in Washington, DC.

“Developers of instructional materials have a lot to navigate” said Jay Diskey, executive director of the PreK-12 Learning Group. “Because of the complex and ever-changing developments in politics, we will focus on key issues led by experts to help industry professionals manage their long-term strategies with greater discernment and efficiency”.

Important takeaways for attendees include business strategies to deal with the fluctuations in school policy, content strategies focusing on student achievement over local politics, and development strategies to ensure data-driven results without compromised privacy.
