Attend this webinar to explore our framework: “Face reality. Get serious. Imagine harder.” Together let’s confront the difficult truths facing education today, captured in the “denials” that confront the world at this critical juncture, and explore what this means for schools that seek to be more relevant, just, and sustainable into the uncertain future.

What is our job as educators in a world being disrupted by generative artificial intelligence (AI)? How do we embrace the potential of this powerful tool while staying aware of, and hopefully avoiding, its pitfalls? This introductory workshop offers educators relevant and practical entry points to begin the process of making sense of AI.

Now more than ever, schools are regularly expected to speak out about major events—and often pressured to take sides. In this session, explore tools and strategies that can help your school decide how to respond—or not respond—to future issues. Dive into a discussion of how to choose which issues your school will address, as well as how, when, and what to communicate.

Designed for educators teaching pre-K to fifth grade, this workshop emphasizes a deep conceptual understanding of mathematics over rote memorization. Participants will explore effective teaching strategies such as 3 Acts Tasks, Math Talks, small group instruction and Number Talks to foster fact fluency and number sense in students. The workshop incorporates open-ended questions and exploratory tasks that spark curiosity and necessitate deep thinking.

This webinar focuses on how to use artificial intelligence (AI) as a thought partner for lesson planning and administrative tasks. Discover how to craft assignments that emphasize critical thinking and why large language models (LLMs) can't (yet!) thoughtfully answer questions phrased in specific ways.

Leveraging our framework “Face reality. Get serious. Imagine harder,” let’s consider more deeply what the learning environments that foster the types of skills, literacies, and dispositions considered throughout this series look and feel like. How do they differ from the legacy practices that still define much of schooling today? And, importantly, how might we articulate aspirational visions for the experience of school in the future and begin to take steps to realize those visions sooner rather than later?

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring ERB's latest research on student learning growth. This session will focus specifically on the findings related to students attending NAIS schools, offering valuable insights into their academic development and progress.

Gain practical strategies for designing adaptable artificial intelligence (AI) policies for your school. Explore ways to build consensus and co-create AI guardrails that align with your school's culture, goals, and challenges.

Explore findings from research on model experiential learning and global education programs at NAIS member schools.

This Institute for Social & Emotional Learning event will allow you to explore ways to integrate nature into your content teaching—from PE to science to English—and engage with topics like climate change, cultural sensitivity to land, and the rights of nature.
