The University of Delaware College of Education and Human Development’s School Success Center (SSC) will host the seventh annual Women Leading Delaware Education Conference on UD’s Newark campus. The event will be on March 24, 2025, at Clayton Hall Conference Center from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The Women Leading Delaware Education Conference is a networking and professional learning event for teachers and administrators in elementary, secondary and higher education settings. The event addresses issues specific to women and education leadership and provides a powerful opportunity for current and aspiring leaders to convene for an impactful day of connection, reflection and inspiration.

The theme of this year’s event is "Thrive in 2025," and the keynote speaker, sponsored by the Educator Excellence Workgroup in the Delaware Department of Education, will be Minette Norman, the award-winning author of Boldly Inclusive Leadership.

“Women’s leadership is defined by strength, resilience and lifting each other up,” said Faith Muirhead, SSC director. “Right now, our voices are being questioned, and the principles of equity and inclusion are being challenged. Our event provides a space to come together, share our experiences and support one another in navigating these uncertain times.”

The event will also include information tables from CEHD’s Center for Disabilities Studies, Center for Excellence and Equity in Teacher Preparation, Center for Research in Education and Social Policy, Delaware Institute for Excellence in Early Childhood, Partnership for Public Education and SSC.

Individuals of all genders and backgrounds may participate.
