What is an international education, and which programs and structures are best suited to delivering it? We invited panelists to examine this question for ISP's first ever Complexity Hub.
Professional Development
The school participates actively in understanding and contributing to the development of innovative and influential educational practices.
ISP Guiding Statements, Inquiry, Innovation and Learning, Statement 6
Professional learning at ISP is as much an attitude of mind as it is a programme of supported activities. While the school invests significantly in conventional training in partnership with both national and international agencies, we are very fortunate in being able to tap into the considerable expertise of our existing faculty many of whom are examiners, workshop leaders and conference speakers. As such, we aspire to be a research-led community able to participate in educational development and innovation whether this involves our ongoing Action Research groups, our annual Research Conference, as the Paris host to IB Workshops or through the envisaged launch of our new Centre for Research and Professional Learning.
ISP's second Action Research Conference took place on Friday, October 21, the culmination of a year's hard work and research into student learning and professional development.
Students in Grades 6-9 attend ISP's first Learning Conference, a day full of informative and creative sessions and activities.
Two student teachers came to ISP in the spring of 2016 to observe how we deliver the IB programs, and to participate in the classroom activities.
Students in Grade 9 take place in internship programme for one week.
Following the success of the Leading Edge Action Research programme last year, a new group of faculty are planning the new areas of research for this year.
