The Capital Regional Assessment Network (CRAN) is more than just a meeting—it’s a vibrant community of assessment and accountability professionals from across the 14-county Capital Central Foothill Area Consortium (CCFAC) and beyond.

Led by the Sacramento and Placer County Offices of Education—with support from COE partners and local educational agencies (LEAs)—CRAN brings together smart minds, shared challenges, and fresh ideas.

Each meeting is a chance to learn, laugh, and connect. Whether you're troubleshooting tricky testing logistics or celebrating a new data dashboard, CRAN is the place to bring your questions, swap stories, and spark ideas with fellow coordinators. Come for the updates, stay for the camaraderie—and leave with tools, insights, and maybe even a few new friends.

• All meetings are at SCOE.
• Each meeting begins with a bring-your-own Networking Lunch from 12-1 PM.
• Meetings run from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM. 
• This community meets six times a year.

This professional learning session is designed for educators who want to move beyond "initiative fatigue" and create a cohesive, relationship-centered school climate. Participants will recognize Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) as foundational in the fabric of their existing frameworks, such as MTSS, PBIS, and academic instruction.
