BLUEPRINTS FOR TOMORROW
Designing the Next Era of Learning
A two-day virtual convening held on February 18 & 19, 2026
CASEL is re-imagining the Exchange as a 2-day virtual convening on February 18 and 19, 2026.
Here’s why:
- Educators are facing funding disruptions and travel restrictions that are keeping them from gatherings like this.
- With all the amazing content and learning we’ve curated, we want to ensure everyone can take advantage of what’s on offer.
Come explore the future with us.
As we explore the theme Blueprints for Tomorrow, you’ll gain insights into how to create the learning environments and opportunities that take students to successful futures.
The full agenda is coming soon!
The virtual event showcases content originally planned for the in-person event, including keynotes, featured sessions, fireside chats, plenaries, and breakout sessions. We hope you’ll join us. What we design today will define what’s possible for generations to come!
What We’re Talking About
Our conversation at the 2025 Exchange will explore four critical areas shaping the future of learning:
Student Engagement

How do we foster student engagement that sparks academic achievement, creativity, joy, and meaningful learning?
AI/Technology

How can we harness Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technology in ways that expand opportunities for all young people?
Mental Health & Well-being

How can we understand and promote mental health and well-being as critical for student success and future readiness?
Learning Pathways

How do we build flexible learning pathways that connect young people to their multi-faceted goals for career, civic life, and lifelong growth?
