2024 Academic Leaders Conference

With the challenges of teacher shortages and high turnover, this full-day workshop addresses the critical need for strategic, comprehensive onboarding and mentoring. Attendees will engage in an examination of their school's current orientation and mentorship programs, gaining insights into the nuances of preparing new faculty—both seasoned and novices—for success. 

This workshop is more than theoretical; it's a practical deep dive into building school systems and cultures to support faculty belonging, performance, and retention – and, ultimately, impact the student experience positively. Participants will learn and apply robust frameworks tailored to their school's unique mission and needs.

Leaders will learn about best practices, share ideas that work, and collaborate across schools. A portion of the day will be dedicated to developing a detailed, actionable outline for enhancing each participant's onboarding and mentorship program, ensuring that new teachers are seamlessly integrated into the school's professional culture and mission.

By focusing on these areas, schools can significantly enhance teacher engagement, effectiveness, and retention, contributing positively to the school's mission and student experience.
