Presentations

In this presentation, I will outline the measures taken by ABA Oman International School to revisit our student council structure and operations, in order to increase student ownership, agency and voice and the positive effects this has, almost instantly, had on our post-pandemic climate. I will share how students have been coached in essential life-long skills of conversation, collaboration, creative thinking and project management in order to address their chosen issues.

Participants will explore the fundamental components of 5+1, and leave with an understanding of how they might apply the model at their own school, including tailoring it to their own needs.

Join us for "Cultural Compass: Navigating Leadership Across Borders," a dynamic workshop for educators and leaders aimed at enhancing understanding of leadership in multicultural settings.

In this interactive, research-informed session, participants will explore how gender stereotypes develop in early childhood and how everyday school practices can reinforce or interrupt them.

This session will mainly focus on learning in the early years (3-7yrs) but will also contain a few examples for upper elementary. We will focus on ways we can deepen our students' learning by conferencing with them during their play, just as we do during literacy and math.

Self-navigation is vital for students. This session explores how to teach and support students self-navigation skills. Specific attention to self-regulation, self-motivation, and the ability to self-assess.

In this presentation, I'll talk about the decision-making and lesson planning in a hybrid model during a pandemic.

It's impossible to be agile enough for the current climate without quality leaders throughout the system. But for years we’ve neglected the development of our aspiring and middle leaders. 2020 showed that up.

Interdisciplinary learning and project-based work succeeds when it pushes students into making connections between complex new knowledge. In turn, though, that demands greater clarity around the thinking skills we want to see learners use. Those thinking skills are best taught, rather than caught.
