Chatham Hall’s Frankie Beyer Joins ICGS Research Collaborative on AI and Student Wellbeing

We are thrilled to share some exciting news from our Chatham Hall community. Our very own Frankie Beyer has been accepted into the prestigious International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (ICGS) Global Action Research Collaborative! This two-year program empowers educators worldwide to conduct research that advances girls' education, and we are immensely proud that Frankie will be representing Chatham Hall in such an impactful way.

For her research study, Frankie has chosen to focus on our 9th-grade Chatham 101 program to explore this year's theme: The AI Frontier in Girls' Schools. As AI technologies continue to grow significantly, they bring both opportunities and challenges. Frankie’s research will specifically investigate how AI impacts students' well-being and how it can be harnessed to support their mental and emotional health over time. This focus on wellbeing aligns with Chatham Hall’s commitment to creating a supportive, nurturing environment where each student can thrive.

Through this program, Frankie will collaborate with other educators worldwide who share her passion for innovation and student-centered learning. Together, they will share insights and findings, developing evidence-based practices that will benefit girls’ schools around the world. Frankie's research will provide our Chatham Hall community with valuable information to better understand AI’s role in education and its potential to foster positive, lasting student well-being.

Congratulations to Frankie on this exceptional achievement, and we look forward to seeing the impact of her work on our school and beyond!
