Testing the Route: Using Pilots to Prepare for System-Wide Implementation

For districts navigating a curriculum adoption, piloting is where the rubber meets the road. It’s where strategy meets classroom reality — and leaders determine how high-quality materials will actually function within their systems.

In this webinar, we’ll hear from district leaders who are approaching piloting as more than a procedural step in the adoption process; they are using pilots intentionally and strategically as a tool to drive meaningful change. Leaders from Tustin Unified School District, Laguna Beach Unified School District, and the Orange County Department of Education will share how they are challenging conventions with innovative approaches, what they’re learning, and how they are setting themselves up for successful implementation in their districts.
