ABOUT THIS ONLINE SUMMER INSTITUTE
The impact of COVID-19 will reverberate in schools for many years to come. The study on Organizational Resilience in Independent Schools by See Change Consulting found every school has areas of resilience to leverage and the need for a recovery strategy in this coming year to mitigate negative impacts and maximize positive growth. This interactive workshop will provide opportunities for connection, collaboration, and reflection as the See Change team leads you through the design of a recovery strategy for next year. This process will support your organization in retaining employees and families, increasing effectiveness, and cultivating innovation. The summer provides the ideal time to set your learning goals and strategies for the coming year.
In this Summer Institute participants will:
- Explore the key areas needed to maximize Organizational Resilience
- Identify priority areas to strategically invest in upskilling and Professional Development for the coming year
- Analyze the pros and cons of different assessment strategies
- Understand the critical need to align DEI work and navigation through recovery from COVID
- Work collaboratively with peers to design a draft of a resilience/recovery strategy for the coming school year
AUDIENCE
This institute is ideal for HOS, Division Heads, Directors of Teaching and Learning, and anyone who plays a leadership role within a school. To deepen and amplify the learning, we encourage you to attend with a team from your school.
