Piecing Together What Matters, for Students and Schools!
Join us for an immersive experience where charter school authorizers, school leaders, and education advocates come together to redefine school quality.
The A-GAME Convening is the premier gathering for education leaders who are passionate about rethinking accountability, measuring success beyond standardized test scores, and ensuring schools are equipped to thrive.
Through interactive workshops, TED-style talks, and small-group discussions, participants will explore innovative strategies to support schools, set responsive goals, and proactively address challenges before they become crises.
This year’s theme, Mosaic of Success: Piecing Together What Matters, highlights the power of collaboration, context, and creativity in reimagining school quality.

Join the Conversation on...
Responsive Goals
Let's solve the problem of rigid accountability systems. Traditional measures don’t always reflect a school’s true impact. We focus on responsive goals that align with schools’ missions and communities.
Proactive Planning
Let's solve the problem of disconnected approaches to school quality. Schools need success measures that go beyond test scores. This convening provides strategies to measure what truly matters.
Early Warning Systems
Let's solve the problem of the lack of early intervention for struggling schools. Schools often fail before support arrives. We equip authorizers and school leaders with early warning indicators to identify and address challenges proactively.
Asset Mapping
Discover local resources and strengths to support sustainable school improvement.
