Are you thinking about a career as an Episcopal school head? Have you ever wondered if being a school head would be a good option for your future career? Have you ever wondered just what a school head does? If the answer to any one of these questions is "Yes," then you should attend this conference. Whether you are currently working in an Episcopal school, another independent school setting, or a church setting, this is the gathering that will help you:
- learn about the full range of responsibilities of modern-day Episcopal school heads;
- understand the specific implications of Episcopal school identity in leading a school;
- learn from leading search consultants about the steps and processes involved in head searches;
- explore concepts of headship in difficult and morally challenging times, and
- reflect on your call to headship.
We look forward to seeing you at what we are certain will be a thought-provoking and fun experience!
We are proud to present this conference in conjunction with the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools (SAES).
Registration Includes:
Registration includes all conference materials, Wednesday dinner, Thursday lunch, and Thursday reception.Who Should Attend:
The conference is designed for individuals who are considering or have decided to pursue a career in a specified leadership position at an Episcopal school, but are not currently. It is open to those working in an Episcopal school or one that is not.Tips for Making the Case for Attending:
Many travel budgets and training budgets have been cut, and some schools are experiencing severe financial problems. This means that regardless of the merits of a conference, you may need to justify the expense when in previous years you may not have had to do so. So here are some things you might want to consider:
- communicate to your head of school what topics will be discussed and how they will advance your professional and personal goals.
- offer to prepare and deliver a short presentation and Q&A session with your colleagues to share what you learned. This way others in your school will get the benefits of your attendance, too.
- share the syllabus and speaker handouts with your colleagues. As an attendee, you have unlimited access to materials posted by speakers.
- be ready with a plan that outlines the full costs of attending and shows who will cover for you while you are at the conference.
