About this Event
Join the California Teacher Development Collaborative for our annual Women + Leadership Conference! This impactful event brings together women-identified educators from schools throughout the region to celebrate our journeys and strengthen our individual and collective impact.
Our theme for Women + Leadership 2026 is Cultivating Collective Wisdom. Committees made up of women leaders from our member schools have designed a conference that centers the wisdom within our school communities and how we can learn from and continue to grow with each other.
The essential questions informing the day are:
- How have our experiences as women (moms, daughters, caregivers, sisters, etc) in education shaped the wisdom we bring into our classrooms and communities?
- What inspiring women models have you had on your journey? How have you been nurtured by the larger community, and how have you given back?
- How can sharing our collective wisdom be an act of liberation?
Our day will include responsive and engaging activities focused on collective wisdom, a panel of extraordinary women-identified leaders from our community, and opportunities to network with other independent school educators.
AUDIENCE
Women + Leadership is an affinity space that is welcoming and respectful of women of all backgrounds, including trans women, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming individuals who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women. We recognize and acknowledge the intersection of race and gender identities, and it is our hope that we can offer an inclusive and intentional space that challenges white supremacy and celebrates the uniqueness, experiences, and contributions of each participant.
