Thanks Avery Mann and Geneviève Evelyn from SOS ThreeSixty Inc. for a powerful SPARC, Summer Programs and Auxiliary Revenue Collaborative webinar: Addressing Emerging Trends in Child Safety. Helpful information on staff hiring, reference checking, training, appropriate interactions with participants and more. Tough topics but so timely as summer and auxiliary directors are planning for Summer 2024 as well as continuing with our school year programs. #independentschools #summerprogram #auxiliaryprograms #leadershipdevelopment #professionaldevelopment #growthmindset

The power of networking!

As you know connecting all students to successful pathways - and ensuring students are lifelong learners is a major passion of mine, which is why I was thrilled to attend The College Board's #CBForum24. It was an incredible conference filled with such knowledgeable people doing incredible things in the field. While I was there, I had the opportunity to speak with WorkingNation Ramona Schindelheim for #WorkingNationOverheard – and we had a great discussion about the importance of post-secondary learning. As I told Ramona, “learning doesn't end the day we walk across the stage.” Take a look and let me know what you think in the comments section

Research shows that the time of day students attend school directly impacts their success. In addition to bell times affecting students, families, staff, and the broader community, they are also the most important factor to achieving an efficient transportation program. Join Tom Platt and Ron Meyer, MBA at this year's Start School Later, Inc. conference to connect with other school leaders from across the country on this critical topic.

"Although political polarization is among the major factors behind declining confidence [in #HigherEd], the steps that colleges can take toward mitigating it are less obvious." https://lnkd.in/eg84MXQM There is a way. The program we have forged with Braver Angels, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, and BridgeUSA is a tried and proven method for building bridges of understanding and reducing negative feelings toward opposing viewpoints, all in the context of a collective search for truth. As the new academic year gets underway, we're ready to work with anyone and everyone, on- and off-campus, to restore constructive debate and confidence for the future.

We are back, baby! And we're stoked to invite you all to the FOURTH season of Racial Justice Weavings. These weekly gatherings are for outdoor education and recreation professionals from any school, company, or organization, in any role. First-timers and old-timers all welcome and encouraged! If you are seeking support for: processing your summer or fall season with a racial justice lens, racial justice work you're doing in your own family or workplace, or your personal liberation practice, join us. We're here to do it in community. Logistics: - Wednesday evenings on Zoom, 6-8pm MST - September 4 - December 11, 2024 (with a few breaks in there) - Sliding scale pricing and we will not let cost be a barrier to anyone participating. In September 2020, we (Steph and Ella) began hosting a weekly space for our fellow backpacking and climbing instructors to talk about white supremacy, racism, and racial justice in outdoor education. The Racial Justice Weavings - "Weavings" - were named to place this gathering within its context: a long history and future of racial justice advocacy in outdoor spaces and education. The goal was to foster antiracist culture in our outdoor leadership school through collective learning and relationship-building. This relational, culture-shifting work is slow but it is powerful. We have learned and grown a lot together in the last four years, and we’re eager to keep building and deepening with the next cohort. Message info@greenwoodandduff.com to sign up.
