2025–2026 Adoption Workshop Series

Partner with CalCurriculum to prepare for math materials adoption with support from experts.

About the Opportunity

CalCurriculum is hosting a no-cost, monthly virtual professional learning series between September 2025 and May 2026. The three-part series is designed to support district and charter management organization (CMO) leaders planning to adopt new materials in the 2025–2026 school year.

Overview of the Series

  • Fall Series (September – October 2025): Set a strong foundation for your adoption journey by refining your instructional vision and diving into data analysis to identify local priorities.
  • Winter Series (November 2025 – January 2026): Establish a plan to narrow your choices and investigate your materials.
  • Spring Series (February – May 2026): Create plans for a strong launch and rollout to support leaders and learners across all levels of your district or network.

These workshops are open to all school districts, CMOs, and supporting county offices of education in California. You can register for one, two, or all three series. To support the cohort learning design, we ask that you commit to attending all the sessions in each series you sign up for. All sessions will take place between 3:30 and 5:00 p.m. PT.
