Workshops and Convenings
We host workshops at national or regional charter school conferences which provides us with a valuable opportunity to provide direct support on issues charter school leaders of color face in our core areas of focus — academic and behavioral supports, finance and operations, teacher development, innovation and fundraising.
In 2018, NCC hosted the first Leaders of Color Convening focused on developing a national advocacy agenda to advocate for and grow charter school leaders of color. Subsequent convenings will focus on various elements of the agenda.

As we face weeks and months of uncertainty, it is important that you take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. NCC has created a platform to allow you to spend some time focusing on the human within the superhero, the vulnerabilities within the leader, and the inner you within the greater YOU. We have partnered with Onyx Therapy Group to offer two types of mental wellness groups: one group will focus on supporting you, as a human and the other will focus on supporting you, as a leader. We encourage you to attend both groups, to gain some support and wellness, and to offer mental health tips to your leadership teams. Join us for session one or session two! |
