Dear Colleagues,
I'm grateful to have partnered with several skillful, inspired consultants in 2016, exploring women's leadership, group dynamics, sexuality education, and much more. Please consider participating in one of these
upcoming programs; you will find them dynamic, relevant, and inspiring!
The Stone Soup Seminar is a new offer from TFC. I am a big believer in the special sauce of small group work. Join me to see what's possible when we build an intentional learning community, virtually and verily.
Regards!
Jennifer Bryan, Ph.D.

Educational Directions
 Last Spring Jennifer worked with
The
Madeira School in Virginia. Head of School, Pilar Cabeza de Vaca invited Jennifer to provide Gender and Sexuality Diversity education to the Board of Trustees. Pilar's grounded and open approach to the complex issue of gender diversity in an all girls' school has been inspiring, and Jennifer had the pleasure of collaborating with Jane and Jim Hulburt of
The Jane Group in working with the Board. The Huburt's focused on communication in relation to shifting social and legal issues related to gender in schools. It was a
timely, informative and thought-provoking session with important learning all around!

Many high school graduates lack the emotional, relational, and critical skills they need to form healthy intimate relationships. The epidemic of sexual assault on college campuses is one measure of their failure to acquire those skills. Preparing middle and high
school students
for
w
ork and love
requires new ways of thinking
about social-emotional learning (SEL)
. Jennifer and
Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair
will offer a
pre-conference workshop at NAIS Annual Conference March 2017.
Join them for a deep dive into how to rethink SEL and consider the role of gender equality
edu
cation in promoting positive academic and
social outcomes for students.

Stone Soup is the classic tale of strangers coming together to create a nourishing feast. What if a group of educators from across the country could come together regularly to create a feast of ideas and imaginings? To sow seeds of connection? To foster dialogue that nourishes themselves as well as their school communities? Stone Soup does exactly that.
If you or a PreK-12 educator you know are interested in exploring professional identity, growth and goals,
