International school leaders of educational support (ISLES)

In April 2023, ISLES and NFI co-created a position statement on the role of generative AI in learning support. With the rapid evolution of AI, we invite our ISLES Members to our upcoming ISLES Connect, where we will examine the polarities that we face when working with students, with colleagues, and as leaders of student support.

Effecting and sustaining change in a school can be challenging. How might we motivate and inspire our community to support the changes needed to better serve students with diverse learning needs?

Through this workshop, school leaders can take an inquiry-based approach to tuning into where their school is on their journey to developing a culture of inclusion. You will explore mission integrity within learning communities through the lens of students, parents, and teachers can inform and guide educational leaders. You will also have an opportunity to look at your own identity, mission, vision, and values to explore what it means to be inclusive in an international setting and within your own context. Explore how a familiar model of inquiry can support educators to draw on data-informed conclusions and take action, to ensure equitable outcomes for all learners.
