*"Be Well, Lead Well" is a tagline for Hathaway Brown School

Co-Sponsored by National Coalition of Girls' Schools New York State Association of Independent Schools

This workshop will combine theory and practice to help schools improve the educational journey for girls in girls’ schools and coed schools, thereby improving the experience for all learners. The event is for all educators who work with girls, at all educational levels.

Overview

The Educating Girls Conference, co-hosted by NYSAIS and the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools, is a biennial opportunity for educators to convene and exchange best practices for teaching and working with girls. This year, the conference is entitled “Be Well, Lead Well,”* and discussions will revolve around the intersection of leadership, resilience, and wellness. Featured speaker Rachel Simmons argues we must define girls’ leadership in a way that is directly linked to the practice of self-care and self-compassion. Participants will explore this concept in small groups and brainstorm strategies to incorporate a more expansive vision of “leadership from within” into their day-to-day work with girls.
