Roots to Routes: A Call Forward is a groundbreaking national conference designed for independent school K-12 educators and administrators, and high school students to engage in bold learning, transformative dialogue, deep reflection on self, school, and society, and skill-building for strategic change. Rooted in the principles of equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging, this intergenerational gathering offers powerful programming and unique experiences that center the voices and well-being of those most often marginalized. Guided by committees of dynamic practitioners from independent schools across the country, Roots to Routes creates space to reimagine education—and move ourselves and our schools forward.
Educators and administrators attending the conference will engage in dynamic workshops that speak directly to the complexities of navigating independent schools as members of minoritized communities, while also gaining tools and strategies to lead systemic change. The program will feature practitioner-led sessions, affinity spaces, and robust networking opportunities to foster authentic connection and collaboration. Nationally recognized speakers will broaden perspectives and ignite new thinking. Participants will also have access to executive coaching, wellness practices, and reflective spaces that support both professional sustainability and growth as well as personal restoration.
Student and adult attendees will join together throughout the conference for select featured sessions.
There will be pre-conference options on Sunday, January 25. Stay tuned!
