Vote for our SXSW EDU 2027 proposal! Cognia, EL Education, and Capital City, spearheaded by our CEO Laina Cox, have proposed a podcast session titled "Make Work Make Sense: Coherence for Educator Sustainability" for the SXSW EDU 2027 Conference. The podcast aims to explore practical ways to create coherence across schools and systems. As the presenters note, it's easy to say we need more coherence in education, but harder to make it work in practice. The team will share best practices for aligning priorities, turning evidence into action, and designing sustainable systems for improvement, so don't miss out, and be sure to vote for us!

You can vote now through August 23 at https://participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sxsw27/community-voting-edu/page/community-voting/session/1785032978932001d0IP

In honor of ELEducation Better World Week, Capital City students launched the Cap City Thrift Store to ensure our community had access to affordable essentials after a local thrift shop closed.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shopped, and supported our students in putting active citizenship into practice!
