2026 Learning Forward GA Winter PL Conference

Friday, February 27, 2026 9am – 3pm

Conference Theme:

Empower. Equip. Elevate: Building Literacy Leadership for Georgia’s Future

Keynote Speaker: Joellen Killion, Author of “Taking the Lead” 

Through an impactful keynote and additional breakout sessions, learn why systemic change in education demands intentional investment in people and purposeful alignment of systems, resources, and collective effort. When professional learning is comprehensive and supported by coaching, educators are empowered to translate new knowledge into practice – building the competence, capacity, and confidence needed to drive lasting change.

In addition, Joellen will also lead one of our powerful breakout sessions called “Coaching in Sync: Aligning Roles, Goals, and Results.”

Breakout Session Description:

Coaches can only spark real change when they and their leaders move in the same direction. This session invites coaches, principals, and district leaders to explore how shared clarity around coaching roles, goals, and priorities fuels meaningful
improvement. Together, attendees will uncover strategies to align coaching efforts with school and system goals so that every conversation, plan, and action leads to stronger results for educators and students alike.

This one day event is a MUST for GA educators, administrators and literacy leaders committed to advancing literacy skills for all students in Georgia.
