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. |

Webinar: Onboarding New Faculty
Wednesday, July 12, 2023, 12noon-12:30pm ET
What’s different this year? What stays the same? Join two experienced Academic Leaders with many years of onboarding new faculty under their belts. Advisory Council members Dr. Whittney Preston, Dean of Inclusive Excellence at Foxcroft School and Connie White, Director of Learning Design at Woodward Academy, come from two very different schools. One is a small all-girls boarding high school in a rural area. The other is a large PreK-12 coed day school in a major metropolitan area. What they both have in common is well-thought-out intentional onboarding programs that run far longer (and deeper) than a few days before school starts.
