As part of the 2024-2025 NAIS Board of Trustees Webinar Series, this session for trustess and heads will unpack big questions about the purpose of school and the skills needed to lead a school community in an increasingly complex world, and then introduce you to tools and strategies you can put to work.

LTP provides your school’s head and board leader(s) the chance to collaborate and strengthen their partnership. Away from busy day-to-day life, they can identify shared goals for their school. Together they learn more about the challenges that their school—and the independent school community—are facing. 

What is 100%? How do I get there? Join your colleagues and the DASL Team in this webinar to see why it’s important and learn how. Let’s all commit to the best data set possible, the foundation for so much leadership work across schools, for the NAIS Trendbook, DASL Databook, accreditation reports in state and regional associations, and many other critical uses.

Learn research-based, equity-centered strategies to increase well-being, enhance belonging, and deepen engagement for students in your community. You will connect with fellow educators, experts, and thought leaders who are transforming the student experience in K-12 schools across the country, deepen your professional learning, and leave inspired and empowered with concrete strategies for your K-12 school community.

Join CATDC in this two-part, four-session series (September 2024 through January 2025) to learn and apply best practices for engaging in meaningful and productive coaching and mentoring. Through small group discussion, individual reflection, scenario analysis, and role play, attendees will learn to better navigate the current reality and develop skills that increase impact and foster resilience and agency.

Understanding the trends shaping the independent school landscape is especially critical for small schools. This session will highlight key economic, demographic, workforce, and leadership trends that directly impact independent schools with fewer than 201 students.

To provide a forum for connection, NAIS is offering online meetups for Executive Assistants and Support Staff. These free, hour-long get-togethers offer an opportunity to connect in small groups and discuss topics of your choice as you get to know others who do what you do.
