KQ 6 - What is the new story of school that we want to live in the future? by Ole Bernard Sealey https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t Made with panache en-us 2020-04-17 09:41:09 UTC 2025-11-18 08:37:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Use data from the employers to guide framework (21st skills, 10 lessons ...) jhan66 https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/532873866 2020-04-27 09:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/532873866 From the very beginnings of the rapid rise of int'l schools post WW2, they have had twin aims. The so-called ideological aim has been about teaching international-mindedness (used as an umbrella term); the pragmatic aim has been the provision of a highly regarded, transportable credential that would allow students to undertake tertiary study in their home countries. dj_condon https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540587720 2020-04-29 23:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540587720 Int'l schools still have to be highly focused on college admissions. The socio-economic benefits of post-secondary education are well known. Going to college matters and, as the work of Raj Chetty has shown, which college one attends also matters. dj_condon https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540593367 2020-04-29 23:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540593367 Many int'l educators are more motivated by the ideological aim; we want to focus on the growth of our students, their cognitive, physical, social-emotional, moral, aesthetic , perhaps spiritual development, not on their transcripts, not on what our int'l school credentials signal. But the pandemic is forcing us to rethink our operations and purpose. Pragmatic concerns are challenging us. dj_condon https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540595887 2020-04-29 23:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540595887 Identify clearly: what our schools offer; what kind(s) of students are developed in them; how we know they are those kind(s) of students; why they can be expected to be successful in the next stage of their lives. For the vast majority of our int'l school students, that's tertiary education. dj_condon https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540716320 2020-04-30 01:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540716320 Our New Schools dj_condon https://padlet.com/osealey/6yey98dow8y9i17t/wish/540722516 will provide authentic, relevant, personally engaging learning experiences that are inherently valuable in the present while simultaneously preparing students for  future learning and growth.  
Our new international schools will be known for developing students who have a strong sense of self-efficacy balanced by concern for others; the capability of applying their intelligence in pursuit of their personal interests and passions; strong, clear values; and the skills necessary to create and contribute to healthy, sustainable communities all over the world.
