Cars today are often equipped with alerts that indicate when drivers veer out of their lanes. What might lane assist look like when it comes to the roles of international school board members and heads? Mr. Littleford will discuss both best practices and cautionary tales to help board members and heads identify, articulate, and communicate their complementary roles in strategic and operational matters. We will also have a specific focus on constituent/board/head communication protocols , ie the good, the bad and the downright dangerous.
How to Intentionally Integrate Students’ Languages in Any Class
Presented by: Tan Huynh
Saturday, March 2, 2024
9:00 – 10:30 AM HKT
Students’ heritage languages are one of the most valuable assets that enhance learning, especially for multilingual learners (MLs). Fortunately, this does not mean teachers have to know students’ languages for intentional integration. Teachers who are monolingual can also create authentic opportunities for students to tap into their heritage languages while learning. After participating in this session, teachers from K-12 will leave with a practical, easy-to-implement framework to make every learning experience a multilingual one.

Identity Centered Learning
Presented by: Daniel Wickner
Saturday, April 13, 2024
9:00 – 10:30 AM HKT
In this workshop, participants will explore the international school and its systems through an Identity Lens– an approach associated with Identity-Centered Learning (identitycentered.com). What systems exist within international school classrooms, staff rooms, boardrooms, communities, and networks– and how do these systems empower (or disempower) certain identities in overt/covert ways? How can we recognize, unearth, analyze, and transform hidden systems within these micro/macro ecosystems that prevent them from becoming more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and just? This workshop will challenge educators to move beyond the common scope of identity work (personal and interpersonal) to a broader systemic outlook– with the goal of sparking systemic evolution in our schools.’

Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Learning
Presented by: Joel Llaban
Saturday, May 25, 2024
9:00 – 10:30 AM HKT
In this session, we will explore dispositions, mindsets, and frameworks to support us in courageously leading anti-racist, anti-bias change at schools, particularly in our learning cultures and ecosystems. In congruence with our belief that our action on DEIJ is a personal as much as political act, this workshop will hopefully enable us to understand that “education is a practice of freedom”.
We will develop our understanding by engaging with some of the provocations from the research, brilliance and wisdom of bell hooks, Christopher Emdin, Lorena Escotto German, Zaretta Hammond, Dr. Bettina Love, Dr. Danau Tanu, Daniel Wickner, Dr. Jamila Dugan, Shane Safir, Django Paris and Samy Alim.
