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.

Learn more about the High School and Middle Grades Surveys of Students Engagement (HSSSE and MGSSE) and how these surveys can help your schools better understand your students' engagement and use data to improve student learning. Join NAIS and Indiana University’s HSSSE and MGSSE team to learn more about our partnership, why student engagement matters, the insights the surveys offer to schools, how to put insights into practice, and how to get started working with the surveys.

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.

In today’s climate of heightened scrutiny and shifting legal landscapes, independent school leaders face real challenges in advancing their diversity, equity, and inclusion work. In this webinar, David Glasgow, of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, will explore how school leaders can embody and communicate their DEI values to support individuals of all backgrounds and identities while navigating institutional risk and community concerns.

Please note that we have changed the topic of this meetup to focus on visa revocations, SEVIS record terminations, and other challenges that may affect international students, faculty, and/or staff. Join us to get quick updates from the NAIS Legal Team and NAFSA Executive Director Fanta Aw, and to discuss topics of interest in breakout groups with colleagues from other NAIS schools.

Facilitated by expert workshop leaders in 4.5-hour sessions over three consecutive days, these highly interactive virtual workshops take place over Zoom and feature an additional three hours of asynchronous work in Canvas required to earn a completion certificate.

Educators from all grade levels are invited to a transformative, hands-on professional development experience grounded in constructivist theory, place-based learning, and transdisciplinary approaches. Choose from one of three immersive workshops—rooted in the idea that students learn best by doing, reflecting, and connecting their learning to the world around them. Each workshop fosters active, inquiry-based, and student-centered learning that aligns with constructivist theory—where knowledge is built through experiences and active engagement.

Join facilitator Dr. Jawaan Wallace, Director of Enrollment Management and Collegiate Partnerships at Marlborough School, to build your toolkit of effective, responsive, and nimble communication strategies.
