Embarking on the journey from DEI director to the role of head of school is a significant and transformative career transition.
It requires not only a deep commitment to educational leadership, but also a strategic understanding of the path ahead. Whether you're a DEI director with aspirations of leading an independent school or simply exploring the possibilities, our two-part webinar series, “The Head of School Blueprint,” is designed to be your guiding light.
In this comprehensive series, we offer a unique blend of inspiration and practical guidance, drawing from the experiences and expertise of educational leaders who have successfully navigated this transition and members of CS&A's DEIB Practice who have led head of school searches and counseled candidates along the way. “The Head of School Blueprint” is your essential resource for mapping out your path to headship.
The recordings of this series are available for any registered attendee through November 8.
