PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Join the California Teacher Development Collaborative at the 8th annual Women + Leadership Conference! This powerful conference for women brings together educators from schools throughout Southern California to explore how they can navigate their professional journeys with purpose, ethics, and courage. 

This year’s theme is HERstory: The Power of Experience, Storytelling, and Purpose.  Throughout the day, we will explore our own experiences as they relate to who we are as women and leaders, and consider how storytelling can be a powerful tool in shaping how we identify and define ourselves.

The Conference will examine the following questions:

  • How do our past experiences shape our professional identity, and what agency do we have in crafting our own stories?
  • What is the story that I want to tell and why is it important?
  • How does personal storytelling intersect with our professional purpose? 

Conference Highlights:

  • Julie Lythcott-Haims, Keynote Speaker, shares My Story: On being Black and biracial in a country where Black lives were never meant to matter
  • MastHER Class Panel Discussion with Rasheda Carroll, Assistant Head of School for Equity, Inclusion, and Counseling at Westland School, Amanda Kelson, Director of Athletics at Brentwood School, Nassim Shandy, Director of Teaching & Learning at the Center for Early Education
  • Engaging, hands-on opportunities to develop strategies to purposefully tell your story
  • Optional hosted-happy hour with Julie Lythcott-Haims, Heads of School, and conference participants for continued discussion and networking

Since 2012, the CATDC has hosted its annual Women + Leadership Conference in Southern California to inspire women to grow and develop as leaders in their personal and professional lives.
