YOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
CHILD PROTECTION
Protecting the children in our care is our most important job; learning itself depends on a child feeling safe. ECIS Child Protection Certificates set the benchmark for quality training for international schools. ECIS is a proud Founding Member of the International Task Force for Child Protection (ITFCP), and we uphold the group’s standards for child protection.
Our certificate programme in child safeguarding is designed, therefore, around this principle of community responsibility. As a participant in our programme, you will learn how the recruitment and on-boarding of new staff, the creation and implementation of policies and procedures, and the oversight of school leadership and the associated governing body are interconnected and mutually-reinforcing areas of building a safeguarding culture.
PREPARING FOR INTERNATIONAL TEACHING CERTIFICATE
Often our International School Community share with us the challenges that new and established teachers face when transitioning from a regional or local teaching environment into an International School environment. The ECIS Preparing for International Teaching Certificate helps to prepare and support teachers development in becoming or establishing themselves as a teacher in an International School environment.
The PITC is a professional development qualification which helps aspiring and new teachers develop skills and deepen their knowledge around the intersection of intercultural awareness and global competence.
