The Puzzle: Blog

As we announced back in January, we're expanding our DEI programming to the West Coast!

On March 5, the day before our FORUM/San Francisco hiring event, we are proud to be hosting Carney Connections: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Carney Connections is a one-day professional development event focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programming relevant to schools and educators. This inaugural event will feature the same rich DEI workshops, dynamic speakers, and opportunities to learn as FORUM/Diversity, in a smaller setting and led by expert school leaders and diversity practitioners.

We are excited to share the speakers and sessions for this free day of professional development open to job seekers and school contacts alike. Check out the full schedule below, and register now for Carney Connections!
