Live on Wednesday
Live programming
is included for Academic Leaders at all 2022-2023 member schools

Our Wednesday webinars are half-hour opportunities for members to learn from experienced colleagues or practitioners in the field about specific topics of interest to Academic Leaders. There’s always Q&A time included in webinars. Webinars will be recorded and available to members to watch on-demand.

​Hour-long member meetups discuss a current topic of practice with a group of peers. Meetups begin with a presentation from an Academic Leader, followed by breakout sessions grouped by role or interest. We conclude by gathering again to share resources and insights. Only the original presentation is recorded for on-demand viewing.


​Registration for Winter 2023 live programming is now open. Log into the Member Portal to register and view past recordings!

​During the past year, Kader Adjout, Director of Teaching, Learning, and Innovation at Beaver Country Day School, has collaborated with faculty in a PD program called Rethinking Teaching For Learning. As part of this approach, students are involved in collaborating with faculty to inform their next practice. "After all, who has more invested in grading assessment and feedback?" Hear from Kader how he guided the students and faculty to participate fully in the work. He'll share prompts as well as the responses of faculty and students who participated. 
Webinar: How Having a Teacher at One Schoolhouse Benefits Your Whole School
​Wednesday, January 25, 2023, 12:00-1:00pm ET
When your teachers also teach for One Schoolhouse, your whole school benefits! Sarah will interview Corinne Dedini, One Schoolhouse's Senior Director, Teaching & Learning and Molly Rumsey, Director of Information Services at Harpeth Hall School (TN). These two One Schoolhouse veterans have been involved with "all sides" of One Schoolhouse, as Academic Leaders working in member schools enrolling students in courses and with faculty who were also One Schoolhouse teachers, as leaders of our program, and even as prior board members.
