Sessions at various levels emphasize practical application and action planning so that participants can return to their schools with a roadmap and a vision for future services.

This year’s theme explores how to ensure that highly able learners can grow and thrive within our complex international schools. Three dynamic and interconnected strands will build a network of pathways, providing challenge for all learners. Explore approaches to promote emotional and social growth in Designing for Wellbeing; to address diverse needs through curriculum and program design while nurturing individual talents and potential in Designing for Excellence; and harness the use of innovative practices and strategic planning in Designing for Sustainability.
