Webinar
Join us for a conversation about how districts can use data to better understand whether resources are supporting intended outcomes. Together, we’ll explore how staffing, time, funding, and program supports work together over time—and how districts can use existing data to assess alignment with priorities. Participants will come away with practical approaches for supporting more coordinated decision-making across finance, grants, and program teams.
DATE: July 30, 2026
TIME: 1:00- 1:45 PM ET
Panelists:
- Dallon Christensen- Executive Director of Finance and Business Services and Board Secretary - Perry Community School District
- Craig Schilling, Ed.D- Professor of Educational Leadership and Program Chair, Concordia University Chicago
This webinar will introduce the concept of Relevant Return on Resources for Complex Learning Systems—a framework recently advanced by our deputy director, Stephanie Levin—and explore how to rethink return on investment in education. It will examine how resources work together, highlight ways to use existing data to assess alignment, and discuss strategies for coordinating across finance, grants, and programs.
