This day-long workshop for early childhood educators will explore how to support neurodivergent learners through sensory regulation, classroom design, and motor development. Participants will learn to create environments that reduce overstimulation and support emotional regulation while integrating strategies to enhance fine motor, gross motor, and visual motor skills essential for student success.

Led by experienced senior leaders in diverse roles, CATDC’s retreat for women in senior leadership positions will build community for women-identified leaders as they navigate the opportunities and challenges of varied positions.

This two-part continuation of the “AI and the Teaching of Writing” workshop offers educators the time, space, and support to redesign a key writing assessment in response to generative AI.

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.

Educators navigate increasingly complex parent and caretaker communication situations in person, over the phone, via email, Zoom, and during in-person school events. Please 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.

Take control of your time and shift from reactive to strategic in this interactive workshop designed to help busy educators work more efficiently. You’ll practice proven strategies for managing projects, email, and digital workspaces while integrating generative AI tools to streamline tasks. Led by Head of School Andrew Davis, this hands-on experience will equip you with practical systems to make your work more productive and rewarding.

This online program is designed to provide space for educators to reflect on the culture of SEL at their school–what is working, what is not, and how can you prepare for more effective outcomes next school year? Whether your school is just starting to implement SEL, seeking to enhance its existing program, or looking to expand its impact, this program series offers dedicated time, tools and strategies needed to move your SEL program forward.

This retreat is designed to offer dedicated time and space away from our everyday surroundings in order to ground and connect with what we really matters. This retreat is purposefully located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills on a beautifully appointed private property situated against natural forest, surrounded by an inspiring skyline. The intentional setting is meant to inspire an interruption to routines and patterns so we can be more available to think creatively about our school communities and the power of culture and counter-culture.

Join us for an all-day in-person workshop to gain familiarity with UDL and the major shifts associated with the recent 3.0 updates.
