AISA member schools are dedicated to preparing students to be active global citizens and future leaders, engaged and equipped to contribute to their communities, local and global.

Service learning is a powerful tool for schools to create purposeful and strategic learning experiences that align with this vision. As a powerful form of experiential education, service learning empowers students to apply curricular knowledge and skills to real issues in their communities, meeting needs to facilitate sustainable, equitable and reciprocal community engagement.

Deep and compassionate listening, intercultural understanding, student voice and agency, positive and purposeful action, and meaningful reflection - all components of excellent service learning experiences - can equip students to become informed, compassionate and future-focused changemakers.

In 2022/23, AISA launched a new Service Learning Design Team to harness the wisdom, experience and creativity of AISA service learning leaders and grow service learning throughout the region. This group is a diverse and innovative network of educators who are passionate about their own service learning practices and about supporting the development of service learning programmes and critical practices in AISA member schools.

The seven tenets of globally competent school leaders fall under four domains: (1) vision setting, (2) pedagogy and practice, (3) situated action, and (4) systems and structures. These domains reflect general best practices of educational leadership, while recognizing the ways in which one's local professional context is interconnected to a broader global environment. These domains are interrelated in practice as well and can be implemented simultaneously. For example, as evidenced by many of the school administrators we interviewed, to effectively integrate global competence into pedagogy and practice requires significant groundwork in mission building and faculty buy-in and taking situated action by partnering with outside global education experts for technical support.

Common Themes

Common elements weave throughout these seven tenets of globally competent educational leadership. First, all are grounded in an ethic of care for individual human beings and the planet. Care in this sense means listening to and acting upon needs that others articulate, rather than assuming what others' needs are. As Nel Noddings writes in her seminal book Caring, "When we see the other's reality as a possibility for us, we must act to eliminate the intolerable, to reduce the pain, to fill the need, to actualize the dream...When the other's reality becomes a possibility for me, I care" (1984, p. 14).

Second, the tenets make explicit the connection between the local and the global. Learning with and about the world not only connects us with countries and cultures outside of our national borders, it also understands that the plurality within our borders is a microcosm of the wider world, and that local issues our communities face-natural disaster relief, job scarcity, access to clean water-shapes and is shaped by events and circumstances all over the world. Third, these tenets embody a spirit of continuous improvement, focused on using data and reflection to drive decision making and taking measured, incremental steps toward desired changes and outcomes.
