SUMMARY:ISCA Webinar:  Building Great Board Meeting Agendas:  Intentionally Getting Into the Weeds
DESCRIPTION:In this Q&A session\, governance expert Cathy Trower will provide guidance on planning for and building great board meeting agendas to ensure appropriate oversight and engage trustees strategically and generatively. The perennial topic of board meeting agendas requires us to get into specifics—what might seem “weedy\,” but so necessary—around such questions as:  \nWho should provide input on board meeting agendas and what is the ideal timeline for planning?  \nWhat are the guidelines for deciding on agenda topics? How should time be divided between important current issues facing the school\, cyclical topics like budget and head evaluations\, and longer-term strategic issues?  \nHow do you fit in time for board professional development and education?  \nHow might agendas vary between day school and boarding school meeting schedules?  \nWe hope you will join us in this deep dive conversation on these questions and come with your own agenda questions for Cathy! \nPresented by Cathy Trower\, President\, Trower & Trower \n*Note that published webinar time is Eastern time zone \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:ISCA Webinar: The Future of Education in a Globally Interconnected World
DESCRIPTION:In order for boards to govern effectively\, they must be knowledgeable about the landscape in which independent schools operate – including the educational landscape. Many independent schools are engaging in conversations about the future of education\, including the question of how best to prepare students for a complex\, interconnected\, and often volatile world. Researchers and educators are turning to new research around global competencies – the knowledge\, skills\, and dispositions students need to thrive and contribute as ethical global citizens. As schools consider ways to increase student development of these skills through various learning experiences and initiatives\, from connecting students with global partners to engaging students with local issues of global significance\, board members can support the school’s strategic thinking and innovation by staying current on the emerging research on the future of teaching and learning in today’s world. \nClare Sisisky\nExecutive Director\, Global Education Benchmark Group\nPostdoctoral Research Fellow\, Klingenstein Center at Teachers College\, Columbia University \n*Note that published event times are Eastern time zone \nRegister

SUMMARY:ISCA Webinar:  The Aftermath of the Pandemic -  A New Independent School Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic not only exacerbated some long-term trends that were affecting independent schools\, but also created new ones. Falling birthrates\, changes in enrollment by grade levels\, worker/teacher shortages\, and head turnover are some of the challenges that our industry faces. In addition\, the first half of 2022 characterized by economic signs of strengths mixed with recessionary concerns also brought uncertainty to the current school year. The presence of high inflation can affect family educational choices and schools’ ability to attract and retain staff. To better support the work done by the head and ensure the long-term viability of their schools\, board members need to stay abreast of the changing landscape and understand how these trends may be affecting their schools. \nPresented by Amada Torres\, Vice President\, Studies\, Insights\, and Research\, National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) \n*Note that published event times are Eastern time zone. \nRegister

SUMMARY:ISCA Webinar:  Head of School Database  - A Vital Resource for Independent School Board Leaders
DESCRIPTION:The Head of School Database (HSDB) launched in the fall of 2021 to help independent school leaders\, including board members\, better understand the trends related to head of school placement\, service\, and tenure. The HSDB also provides resources and insights into a process that many schools only go through every 5-7 years\, those related to head of school transitions. Come join this interactive conversation to learn more about how the Board of Trustees can use the site\, the resources\, and the trends we are starting to see as more school leaders continue to share information and provide us all with a fuller picture of the changes we are seeing in independent school leadership. \nPresented by: \nDebra P. Wilson\, President\, SAIS\nVince Watchorn\, Executive Director\, NYSAIS\nClay Gibney\, Director of Technology\, SAIS \n\nPlease note that published event times are Eastern Time\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:ISCA Webinar:  Organizing for the Board's DEI Work
DESCRIPTION:The success of any school’s DEI plan requires the thoughtful and purposeful engagement of the Board of Trustees who are uniquely positioned to advance DEI efforts. Determining the best use of the board’s organizational structure can be an important factor in the successful execution of the school’s DEI initiatives. This presentation will examine the critical function of trustee members and answer questions such as:\n· How does the board launch a DEI committee and should it?\n· What is the role of the DEI committee?\n· How should it be organized? \nParticipants will leave with practical strategies for immediate implementation that will positively alter the trajectory of all students\, particularly those from marginalized groups. \nPresented by Dr. Valaida Wise\, Dr. Valaida Wise Consulting\, LLC \n*Note: Published event times are Eastern Time \nRegister

SUMMARY:ISCA Webinar:  Considerations for Head of School Feedback and Evaluation Design
DESCRIPTION:As Board Chairs and Trustees\, one of your most important and often least understood responsibilities is the feedback to and evaluation of your sole employee\, the Head of School. We will explore the “why and how” of timely feedback and thoughtful head evaluation\, and outline key considerations in designing a dynamic process that supports healthy board-head partnership and creates conditions for professional growth and support\, for both Heads and Boards. We will address important questions including: how to set goals and expectations; how and when to gather feedback; who participates in the process; how evaluation and feedback might evolve for new heads versus long-serving heads; and how to balance formative and summative feedback. Finally\, we’ll explore the powerful intersection between head evaluation and board evaluation\, and how an aligned approach for feedback and assessment drives a strong partnership. \nGreenwich Leadership Partners will lead you in a structured conversation to help you develop a process to carefully consider your individual school context and the needs of your Head and Board. \nPresented by Georgy Ann Peluchiwsky\, Partner\, Greenwich Leadership Partners \n*Please note that published event times are Eastern Time \n \nRegister\n

SUMMARY:ISCA Webinar:  Decision Making in Times of Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:There is no shortage of sources of uncertainty in the world. Unfortunately\, many organizations find the overwhelming amount of uncertainty debilitating. It completely stymies their efforts to make decisions and move their organizations forward. By understanding uncertainty and the different types of ambiguity we face\, boards can take action sooner or at least make plans to act once the ambiguity is resolved. This approach accelerates decision making and enables boards and administration to position themselves for action\, gather the right information they need to make informed decisions\, and manage risks inherent in the decisions they’ll make. Join nationally recognized leadership expert\, Mike Figliuolo of thoughtLEADERS for this timely webinar and learn the principles of how to make strategic decisions amidst uncertainty.  \nPresented by Mike Figliuolo\, Managing Director\, thoughtLEADERS\, LLC. \n*Note that published event times are Eastern Time \nRegister
