Can AI tools be useful within science, engineering, and math classrooms, where objective scientific facts govern and logical reasoning dominates? Have AI tools been improved to hallucinate less frequently, less intensely, or less confidently? This intensive will provide participants with the opportunity to experiment with AI models using curated prompts, revealing both the power and potential issues with these tools. Together, we will examine best practices in a world where AI will soon be used to make major scientific discoveries.

In this virtual series for lower school educators we will explore the importance of human-centered approaches, share insights into the value of AI literacy, engage with AI tools, and examine supportive leadership frameworks and processes. This dynamic program will meet educators where they are in their AI journeys and build a learning community of educators grappling with the complexity of this work

Giving effective feedback is one of the most powerful tools for improving teaching practice, student learning, and professional collaboration. However, feedback is often avoided, misunderstood, or delivered in ways that can create resistance rather than growth. This workshop helps educators and leaders build confidence in giving and receiving feedback, shift feedback conversations from evaluative to developmental, and foster a culture of trust, reflection, and continuous improvement.

This session is for administrators interested in headship. Numerous schools in California and throughout the country are seeking new leaders. In this interactive virtual session, three experienced heads of school will share data, stories, and strategies about the path to headship. Participants will have a glimpse into some of the challenges and some of the rewards at the heart of this job and will walk away with concrete steps on how best to put themselves on a headship track.

Positive culture change that is people-centered ultimately reduces workload and increases joy because the results include: fewer emotionally tangled email threads, less charged parent/guardian conversations regarding discipline and boundaries, and a greater understanding between faculty and staff, parents and students overall. Sign up for all three sessions and to give yourself an opportunity to weave and identify connections across all three aspects of school culture and community.
