Early Childhood Education Program Days
One-day gatherings designed for ECE program directors, chaplains, trustees, rectors, and vestry members that explore governance, leadership, and worship.
NAES/SAES Newly Appointed Heads Institute
Whether you are a first-time head or a first-time Episcopal school head, this institute is for you. Participants will examine distinctive and oftentimes unaddressed aspects of Episcopal headship including Episcopal identity, the spiritual life of a school, board-head and constituency relations, school finances, development and advancement issues, and the importance of self-care. This gathering is co-sponsored by NAES and the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools (SAES).
Webinars
Offered on the second Tuesday of each month at 2:00 p.m., these focused, 75-minute sessions on Episcopal school topics offer you:
- Fingertip learning—education brought to you at your desktop
- Cost-effective learning—avoid travel costs and time away
- Real-time learning—current information and knowledge
Register for one connection and gather your leadership team around the screen. Or, have more than one member of your leadership team register for a connection and enable school and church leaders to participate from a variety of locations.
Registration is free to NAES members, but required. For non-members the charge is $75 per connection per webinar.
