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 the current and subsequent generations.

“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.
