EARCOS Workshops | March & April
IT’S COLLEGE RESULTS SEASON! COUNSELING YOUR SPRING SEMESTER SENIORS (AND THEIR FAMILIES)
Presented by: Dr. Grace Cheng Dodge
Saturday, March 16, 2024
9:00 – 10:30 AM HKT
American college results will be flowing in at this time of year. This webinar will provide school counselors and college counselors practical and timely knowledge of how to advise students on finalizing the college admissions process and tidying up all responsibilities from the student’s side.

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.
(Free for all EARCOS member schools)
