Calling all International School Educators, Counsellors and Leadership

Does your school resemble a revolving door – students, families and staff constantly leaving and arriving?

Do you have:

• students from culturally diverse backgrounds struggling to integrate into your school community or engage effectively in learning?
  
• teachers searching for strategies to equip and support their Cross Cultural (CCK) and Third Culture (TCK) students?
  
• parents from culturally diverse backgrounds struggling with transition or worried about their child’s emotional, social and intellectual wellbeing?
  

Would you like to do more to support your students, parents and colleagues as they navigate the triumphs and trials associated with global transition? This webinar series is for you!

Transitions 101: Tips and tools for transforming your school’s transition program

Description:

International schools are the most popular educational platform for families in global transition yet they are often ill-equipped to address the challenges associated with mobility. As places with high turnover, transitions affect everyone, whether you are the one leaving, arriving or staying, whether you are local or international and whether you are a student, family member or staff member.

Managing mobility is the responsibility of every international school but knowing where to start can be overwhelming.

In this live two-part webinar series you will:

• Cultivate awareness around mobility’s impact upon yourself, staff, parents and students and how that experience shapes how you and they relate to others
  
• Develop a common language to enhance communication and understanding of these issues
  
• Further your knowledge of international mobility research well-being and learning
  
• Be equipped with practical tools and strategies to build or enhance transitions programming at your school
  

BONUS:

You will receive a Research Bibliography and Recommended Resources to continue your knowledge transformation.
