Session 10 of the 2026-27 CALIE Certified Educator cohort is an optional in-person gathering at Spring Forward, CALIE’s annual conference in Palm Springs, March 18 to 20, 2027. Every certified educator receives free conference registration, so the cohort can meet face to face, sit in on sessions together, and connect with educators from across California.

- Time: Cohort meeting time shared with participants before the conference
- Location: Spring Forward 2027, Palm Springs, California
- Registration: Free for certified educators, included in the program
- Applications: Applications for the 2026-27 cohort close October 14, 2026

Nine sessions in, the cohort knows each other through a screen, and Spring Forward is the one chance to close that gap. Participants can compare capstone progress in person, see the work CALIE members are presenting, and add a March 17 pre-conference workshop if they want one (those are a separate $250 registration). Meeting details for the cohort will be shared closer to the conference.
What is included:
- Free Spring Forward 2027 registration, included in the program
- In-person time with your cohort
- Full access to the Spring Forward conference program
Attendance is optional, and the cohort returns online on March 31 for Session 11.
