How will NWEA Fusion be incorporated into Model Schools Conference 2027?
Model Schools Conference 2027 brings together the strengths of Model Schools and NWEA Fusion in one conference experience. Model Schools brings real-world examples and proven practices from schools and districts, while Fusion brings NWEA’s research, assessment expertise, data-centered thinking, and focus on innovation.

Why are NWEA Fusion and Model Schools Conference being combined in 2027?
Bringing Fusion and Model Schools Conference together creates an opportunity to connect evidence with practice in one experience. Educators can learn from research and assessment insights alongside schools and districts demonstrating measurable progress—and then make connections across curriculum, instruction, assessment, intervention, professional learning, leadership, and implementation. The goal is to help teams leave more aligned on what matters, what the evidence says, and what they’ll do next.
