{ "name":"LearnPlatform VOH-Turn Beginning-of-Year Data Into Action w/ Rapid Cycle Evaluation (RCE)", "description":"

See how districts are using Rapid-Cycle Evaluation (RCE) reporting to make smart, data-driven edtech decisions early in the year - and get ahead of budget season.

In this session, you’ll learn how districts:

• Make timely adjustments using early usage and fidelity data.

• Plan with the end in mind by connecting BOY insights to outcome data as early as your midyear assessment cycle.

• Act on 24-25 data now-our team can already run analyses using the data you have available.

And the best part? Our full-service research team does all the work once data files are received (usually just a few per product), so you get meaningful results with minimal effort. 

Whether you’re already using RCE or exploring how to try it for yourself, this session is the perfect way to see how districts turn data into impact.

📘 Everyday Dharma by Suneel Gupta

Reading: September 1 - October 15

 

Discover how to align your outer success with your inner calling. In Everyday Dharma, Suneel Gupta—InstructureCon 2025 keynote speaker and bestselling author—guides readers through a practical path to finding meaning and fulfillment in the work they do every day.

 

Start the book on your own or follow along with our suggested schedule in the InstructureCon25 Encore Series  Canvas Network course.

 

Then, during this Instructure Live event, be ready to share your favorite quotes, inspirational passages, and action items you’re excited to try. During this casual 45-minute meet-up, we’ll unpack those takeaways and prepare to apply them to our own practice. (Bonus: Attendees will be awarded a Book Club participation badge through Canvas Credentials!)

 

Need a little inspiration to join the conversation? Whether you’re sharing a quick thought, a favorite quote, or a personal takeaway, there’s no wrong way to join in. Pick a prompt (or a few!) and let the discussion flow.

• Observe: What moment, passage, or story stood out to you the most? Think about what caught your attention first—something that surprised you, challenged you, or made you pause to reread.
• Reflect: What did this book make you think or feel about your own work, habits, or values? Consider how the ideas in this section connect to who you are or how you approach your day-to-day life.
• Connect: Where do you see Everyday Dharma show up in your classroom, team, or life? Look for real-world examples or parallels in your professional or personal experiences.
• Apply: How might you apply one idea from this reading to live or work with more purpose? Identify one small action or mindset shift you can take forward, something that helps you live your “everyday dharma.”
