How well are you and your school recognising your place in the world, cognisant of your own context yet not bound by it? How do you work to create an internationally-minded culture that informs your school ethos as well as your own teaching and/or leadership?

At ECIS, we believe that increased global understanding and engagement is an imperative in schools today, as we seek a better understanding of our world and an appreciation of each other, so that we create impact and opportunity for current and subsequent generations. Enter the ECIS Awareness in Global Perspectives.

Establishing a successful safeguarding culture in a school results from professional learning that includes everyone who works in or for a school — from teaching staff through school leadership and governing stakeholders. Understanding and applying the best safeguarding practices and behaviours is not for teachers alone; nor is it for school leaders alone, nor for trustees or governors alone. It is for everyone!

Dragonfly are delighted to be partnering with ECIS to provide a series of cutting-edge courses and programmes to meet the needs of international schools of all sizes and contexts, across the globe. Our courses are relevant to teachers of all levels and all curriculums and will be delivered in Dragonfly’s trademark interactive and practical style. So teachers will try out the new strategies and resources and leave truly inspired and with a clear understanding of how and why these techniques/materials work, as well as the confidence to put them into practice the very next day in their classrooms. Learn more about each course via the respective links below.

Assessment Lead Programme

The Assessment Lead Programme, delivered by Evidence Based Education, enables education professionals to make their assessment approach more efficient, allowing them to make more reliable judgements about what pupils know, can do and need next.

Assessment Essentials

Assessment Essentials focuses specifically on ‘what every teacher needs to know about assessment’.

As we outline in our ECIS Effective Governance quality standards and in our tome Governance in International Schools, trustees and governors, in partnership with the head of school, play a critical leadership role in international schools. Effective practices, policies, and behaviours at the governance level comprise an essential part of the foundation of stable and strong international schools, and that holds true whether we are considering not-for-profit or for-profit governing boards.

The Advanced Governance Webinars move the conversation about governance beyond basic training for new governors/trustees. We focus on four areas that are critical to success, but and also have the potential to create significant problems when done poorly. Each is a stand-alone webinar, but we suggest that you view all four as a complete package. The goal is to offer information which will lead to thoughtful conversations in your board room and inform good governance practice in a new way.

“The ECIS International Teacher Certificate is a professional development qualification which will help your teachers develop their skills and deepen their knowledge around the intersection of intercultural awareness and global competence.

Middle leaders, from teacher-leaders through coordinators and assistant principals (and more!), are crucial partners in facilitating school change that has a direct and meaningful impact on student learning. The middle leader certificate programme translates quality research around middle leadership into a credible professional pathway. The programme identifies and nurtures the skills and behaviours needed to be an effective middle leader who influences the school community.
