A GREAT MINDS® WEBINAR SERIES
Support That Scales
Over the course of the 2026–27 school year the Great Minds team will be hosting a webinar series where we'll explore effective math instruction, materials, and how Great Minds support continues to support your district throughout it's implementation journey. To keep the content organized and purposeful, we've grouped the sessions into Focus Areas.
Our first focus area, Back to Business, will reflect on what we learned from last year, and how we can hit the ground running this year. Our second focus area, Leading Implementation Forward, will feature leaders from across the state reflecting on their Bluebonnet implementation and partnership with Great Minds.
Back to Business
September
Districts and schools that make real progress don't get there by accident. They get there because they take the time to look honestly at the data, understand what changed, and turn what they learned into a clear plan for what's next. In the first Focus Area of our 2026–27 webinar series, we'll explore everything between last year's results and this year's classroom. We'll take a look at what the data showed, what's new from Great Minds, and how you can put it to work in your own classroom. Because the districts that reflect well don't just improve, they accelerate.
In the opening session of the series we'll share STAAR results and what we've heard directly from educators like you throughout the school year. This session will set the foundation for everything we'll discuss throughout the school year so come ready to reflect on 2025–26, ask questions, and help shape what the school year ahead will look like.
This session is your one-stop update on the resources, existing and new, built by Great Minds to support progress monitoring, pacing, and internalization. We'll walk through platform and program changes, put a spotlight on our TEKS Progress Checks, and highlight the tools you already may know and use.
You've been collecting real data on your students, now let's turn it into action. This session will focus on Math Catalyst™ Texas and how it supports both targeted Tier 2 and 3 intervention for students who need to close gaps, and extension and differentiation for students ready to go further.
Leading Implementation Forward
October – November
Strong instruction doesn't happen without strong leadership behind it. In the second Focus Area of our 2026–27 webinar series, we'll turn our attention to the leaders who make implementation stick. We'll hear firsthand from district leaders that have partnered with us, and we'll show you what ongoing leadership support from Great Minds can look like in your own district.
The strongest Year 1 implementations don't happen by chance, they happen because district leaders make intentional choices early on. In this panel discussion we'll sit down with those leaders and ask them what they'd tell their past selves.
Strong instructional materials go further when leaders know how to support them. In this session, we'll hear from district leaders that have partnered with Great Minds to learn how ongoing professional learning shaped their approach to coaching, feedback, and building instructional capacity across their campuses.
What does leadership support from Great Minds look like? In this session, we'll walk through our full menu of leadership offerings and give you a hands-on taste of what partnering with our team is like.
