Bentley Faculty and Admin Focus on Leadership

This week, a group of 6 faculty and administrators from all three divisions of the School headed into San Francisco for a California Teacher Development Collaborative conference focused on women and leadership. Lower School administrators Ms. Sykes and Ms. Parker joined a contingent from the Upper School, including Ms. Baylis, Ms. Beck, Ms. Jones, and Ms. Meehan to participate in various workshops and opportunities to connect with other independent school leaders. The experience proved to be an inspiring day centered on an invigorating conversation with Dr. Dena Simmons, whose work intersects social and emotional learning (SEL), racial justice, and healing. Activities like these strengthen our professional community through development funds supported by Annual Giving.
