NEASC Leadership Conference #NEASC2024
Conference
Connecting our learning communities around shared purpose is not just a choice, but a necessity. As educational leaders in a world of diverse cultures, values, and conflict, it is more important than ever to put the well-being of students at the center of everything we do. By encouraging diplomacy and candor in our schools, we can build common ground and shift conversations toward meeting the needs of all students. We know there is a deep connection between student well-being and academic success; as leaders, we must cultivate compassionate learning communities that will empower students to navigate the complexities of the world beyond school with empathy and resilience.
Bringing a global community of school leaders together for three days of deep collaborative learning, the NEASC Leadership Conference promises to deliver a dynamic exchange of insights and ideas on how to bridge divides. From addressing implicit biases to fostering courageous conversations on sensitive topics, attendees will gain practical tools and frameworks to promote empathy and unity.
Keynote speakers, short talks from leaders highlighting innovative practice, concurrent sessions, and networking opportunities including meals and an evening reception will be included. Conference sessions will explore best practices for creating student-centered purpose such as:
- Building inclusive school cultures
- Managing difficult conversations and conflict
- Fostering student agency and engagement
- Media literacy/information and disinformation
- Leveraging technology for educational equity
- Engaging with diverse stakeholders
