Join the California Teacher Development Collaborative at the 11th annual Women + Leadership Conference! This powerful, one-day event brings together educators from schools throughout California to build community and provide inspiration and support for women in navigating their professional journeys with purpose, courage, and an equity lens.

This three-session series will provide practical tools, resources, and strategies for educators who are currently facilitating, or considering implementing, racial affinity groups.

The Teaching Foundations program is designed to support the growth and success of all teachers—particularly those in their early years at independent schools—by focusing on foundational areas of classroom teaching.

This workshop focuses on the “on the ground” strategies faculty and administrators can use to better support Black students. We will take some time to build an understanding of implicit bias and the influence of the BLM movement on the experiences of Black youth.

In this workshop, middle and high school educators will explore the components of hybrid learning in order to create their own flexible course structure.

In this two-session program, we will explore the core components of inquiry-based learning, focusing on the ways that an IBL task can foster student engagement, increase motivation, and develop skills like critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.

Engage with veteran facilitators to learn common facilitation models, avoid pitfalls, and manage polarity. Learn visual facilitation from experts to help people see issues and perspectives more clearly. Through this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to unpack practical strategies on facilitating courageous conversations, practice facilitating, and leave with a visual toolset to deepen their practice.

This 2-day intensive will provide opportunities to identify, discuss, and adapt practices and methods for attracting and hiring the best culturally competent candidates, building meaningful inclusion in policy evolution, mentoring and retention, and moving the entire school in the direction of greater cultural competence and racial equity for all members of the school community.

This workshop will invite participants to understand that there are common and effective development practices that also support values of equity and inclusivity. Through planning and practice, we will consider how our advancement conversations and messaging can be both inclusive and compelling.
