2018 MISBO Fall Conference

Aspirations to Operations…

For the past several years independent schools have been asking some big questions. Are we still relevant in today’s world of ever-changing education? What will the students of tomorrow need, and how do we anticipate those needs? Do we have the right mix of programs, facilities, faculty, and technology to support those needs?  

The 2018 MISBO Fall Conference will connect you with industry professionals, along with some of our schools’ brightest leaders, providing you with answers to these questions. Keynote speaker Ian Symmonds will kick off the conference with three critical questions facing independent schools today, and better yet, he will guide you to find the answers for your school; you will be inspired by the engaging “Leadership Lessons from the Fields of Gettysburg”, which draws parallels between battle strategies and critical leadership traits (who knew?); the final day will have you reimagining student assessment and what that could mean for our country’s future leaders with The Mastery Transcript Consortium. Additional breakout sessions will broaden these themes, designed to offer solutions to many of the issues you face every day: hiring for key positions, compensation design, security, as well as long range and capital budget planning. 

This conference will also feature MISBO’s signature “Sourcing Solutions” session, providing attendees an opportunity to leave with valuable takeaways from MISBO vendors in short 15-minute mini-sessions, along with dedicated exhibit time to talk with vendors and sponsors. And as always, there will be endless opportunities to network and collaborate with your peers!

Join us as we not only ask the important questions, but also provide the answers for you to take back to your school.

Pre-Conference
Introduction to Abuse Risk Management

This workshop is a great opportunity to learn more about abuse risk management and how you can create a culture of safety on your campus. This session is designed to facilitate larger conversations about how, why, and what youth protection systems should exist. Attendees will learn the scope of the risk, how abuse happens in schools, best practices in prevention across school operations, and school leadership’s role in abuse prevention initiatives. As part of this discussion, Praesidium will share industry trends, information on a shifting legal landscape, and lessons learned from case studies. This session will also include tabletop exercises designed to facilitate important discussions:

• What should an abuse prevention framework include?
• What systems does your school already have?
• Where are some potential gaps that can be strengthened?
• How to prioritize next steps.
• Who should be involved in the decisions and how to build a sponsorship network.
