This has been a busy year for ISANNE and for our schools. As you reflect on your school's year, we want to take this opportunity to recognize our members, schools and corporate partners for helping us throughout this past year to design and present high-quality, affordable professional development offerings close to home.
You recommended some great speakers this year who received strong reviews from our participants. These included Dr. Chris Jernstedt's talk to School Heads on "Learning, Teaching and the Brain," Christine Miller's presentation to Student Life Leaders on "Anxiety and Depression in Adolescents," Cindy Pierce's presentation on "Healthy Sexuality," Alex Myers, this month's guest blogger, and Sarah Huckman who shared their personal stories at the "Transgender Policy Conference," David Grant on assessment and Whit Mitchell on the DISC and "Having Difficult conversations." These are national caliber presenters and better yet, they live in our area of northern New England! When possible, let's go local and strengthen our region's name recognition.
A big thank you to Holderness, New Hampton, Tilton, Brewster, Gould, Bridgton, St. Johnsbury, and Sharon academies and schools for hosting our events or sharing your speakers.
And a shout out to all of our Corporate Partners who sponsor, pitch in and support our work throughout the year!
Keep an eye out for our 2017-2018 major conference dates and mark your calendars. The committees are already planning informative and engaging events for next year. If you are interested in helping your affinity group plan your next event or if you have ideas for a day-long workshop, please contact Deb Cook.
Lastly, we are combining the July and August newsletters in a summer issue-- look for it in your e-mail boxes in early August!
Until then, we wish you safe travels and a fun and restorative summer season!
