The New Teacher Working Group: Unit Planning for the Internationals Approach is designed to support teachers who are in their first or second year of teaching at an Internationals Network school. The series creates a safe space for teachers who are going through similar experiences to learn and grow together. During the sessions participants will learn about best practices that are occurring throughout our network of schools, reflect on their experiences teaching in an Internationals classroom, and spend time considering how to implement the new strategies they have learned into their upcoming lessons. This monthly series will explore these topics through the lens of the unit planning process and will culminate in a teacher portfolio reflection on their learning journey. We hope you will join us for this enriching experience! Stay tuned for our announcement on the opening of registration and the workshop schedule.

Each session will be focused on a specific component of strong curriculum (e.g. building summative assessments, creating a formative assessment plan, integrating specific and targeted language development etc.). Sessions will include an introduction to the skill as well as time for participants to apply the skill with the support of content-area colleagues.

Instructional Coach / Team Leader CFG

This working group will continue from our successful pilot from last year. This group is focused on supporting exchange, discussion, and learning among instructional coaches and team leaders. Instructional coaches and team leaders have a unique influence and position in our school communities, with opportunities to impact a wide array of ambitions, and supporting their work can have wide reach in pursuing a school community’s goals; at the same time, these roles can sometimes be isolated, with few or limited opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange about engaging in this type of important work.
