Spring 2018: Enough As She Is
NCGS is thrilled to partner with New York Times bestselling author and educator Rachel Simmons to offer an online discussion series for you to dive deeply into her new book, Enough As She Is: How to Help Girls Move Beyond Impossible Standards of Success to Live Happy, Healthy, and Fulfilling Lives. During this live experience, educators and administrators will engage in dialogue with Rachel and each other using a videoconferencing platform.
Participants will also have access to a dedicated site where they can enjoy additional resources recommended by Rachel, share thoughts on the issues addressed in the book, and pose questions. The Beyond the Book author series is available exclusively to NCGS member schools.
“My colleague and I thoroughly enjoyed this class! I’d go so far as to say it was really perspective (dare I say life?)-changing.”
