NHASCD Conference Series

KSC Graduate Credit Available

The SW Center is partnering with the NH Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (NHASCD) to offer a one graduate credit course, Building School Leadership Skills. 

This course will include participation in three NHASCD conferences with follow up reflection and action planning based on application of workshop content to professional practice. 

Students will provide a reflection on their experience, discussing the conferences attended and the knowledge and skills obtained therein; and explaining how these workshops have impacted their personal professional development as a school leader. Students will also create an action plan that includes five action items for integrating information from the conferences into professional practice. 

Submit registration with tuition payment ($245.00) to the KSC Office of Graduate Studies and Extended Education, either in person or by phone (603-358-2290). MasterCard, VISA, and Discover credit cards are accepted. Register for the conference series at the NHASCD website. 

SW Center Virtual Summer Institute Recap

The SW Center held a very successful Virtual Summer Institute during the first two weeks of August. Ten webinars were offered covering a wide range of topics pertinent to the current state of education in NH and beyond.

Many thanks to the SW Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Directors group for collaborating with us on this professional learning opportunity. We hope to continue our summer institute series with an in-person event in 2023!

Keene State Announces CALL Classes for Fall 2022

The Cheshire Academy for Lifelong Learning (CALL) is excited to return to campus this fall for our first in-person classes since the spring of 2020! During the pandemic, many of our members found that they really preferred the convenience of online classes, so we’ll continue to offer both. Online classes will be offered Monday – Friday, and in-person on Fridays only.

Our classes bring together retired people from all over the country to enjoy classes on topics ranging from history to art, and from languages to current events. We are fortunate that some of our most popular retired Keene State faculty teach with us often. This semester, we are offering over 40 classes including some offered by Paul Vincent, Rose Kundanis, Vince Ferlini, and Tom Durnford.
