Beyond Burnout: Creating Cultures of Connection & Care

Recruiting and retaining talented educators remains one of the most pressing challenges for independent schools, and SAIS has launched a sector-wide research study to better understand what drives faculty motivation, engagement, and purpose—and how these factors impact retention, well-being, and school culture. In this webinar, we will share early findings from the study, highlighting what educators across our region say fosters connection, meaning, and professional alignment, and discuss the practical implications for school leaders seeking to support, develop, and retain faculty at all career stages.
