This three-day, in-person institute invites educators and school leaders to develop the mindsets, skills, and practical applications needed most in this rapidly changing landscape keeping human relationships at the center. With Eric Hudson as our core facilitator, this collaboration between CATDC and Midland School combines hands-on learning with thoughtful dialogue, ensuring participants leave with technical know-how and a clear vision for how AI can enhance the human elements at the heart of education.

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.

In collaboration with The Harker School, this institute will equip you with strategies to design assessments and experiences that capture authentic learning in ways that AI cannot replicate.

The early years are critical for building the foundational reading and writing skills that set students up for long-term academic success. Facilitated by Rebecca Bellingham and Veronica Scott, authors of The Artful Approach to Exploring Identity and Fostering Belonging, and The Artful Read Aloud, this interactive experience highlights how purposeful play activities, storytelling, community poems, expressive movement, and “artful read-alouds” can bring early literacy to life—honoring children’s identities, amplifying their voices, and fostering the belonging that underpins joyful learning and academic excellence.

Campbell Hall and CATDC are partnering to co-create a two-part professional learning experience that centers educators’ intentional development of students’ executive functioning (EF) skills across grade levels and disciplines. Grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming framework and led by expert facilitator Lindsay Astor Grant, founder of Learning Redesigned, the program positions executive functioning as a universal set of skills that strengthen academic engagement, emotional regulation, collaboration, and lifelong learning for all students.

The Department Chairs Institute will guide participants in exploring the multilayered challenges of this unique position and in developing the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to become effective department leaders.
