Session 7 of the 2026-27 CALIE Certified Educator cohort meets Wednesday, February 10 from 4:00 to 5:30 pm PT. Participants explore how leaders use evidence, feedback, observations, and stakeholder input to make better decisions, with the emphasis on finding evidence that improves the project rather than evidence that proves a point.

Usage numbers tell you what got clicked, not what changed for a student or a teacher. Leaders who want their work to hold up need better evidence than that, and they need it early enough to change course. This session covers where to look, who to ask, and how to fold what you learn back into the design.
In this session you will:
- Decide what evidence would tell you the project is working
- Gather feedback and observations from the people closest to the work
- Use stakeholder input without letting it pull the project off course
- Revise your design based on what the evidence says
Participants apply this directly to their capstone, so they arrive at Session 8 with a design that has already been tested against real input.
