PRE-SYMPOSIUM SESSIONS

Combatting Stereotype Threat with Mindset, Motivation, & Research

Two decades of troubling research show that social stereotypes can become self-fulfilling prophecies. When students perceive stereotypes about their academic, athletic, or emotional capacities, their own efforts to disprove these stereotypes can undermine the abilities they intended to demonstrate. How can TABS teachers and schools— especially those interested in global connections—undo this destructive cycle?

Andrew Watson, President, Translate the Brain, MA

Leveraging the World Inside Our Schools: Fostering Meaningful Inclusion of International Students Student and Residential Life

This interactive workshop explores the complex and fascinating psychology behind Stereotype Threat. Crucially, we will spend most of our time discussing and practicing practical strategies for reversing its pernicious effects. Specifically, we will consider: A novel psychological model explaining the preconditions for Stereotype Threat, as well as its emotional and cognitive effects

• School climate strategies to reduce the “salience” of stereotypes •

Assessment strategies that allow students to demonstrate their growth and understanding of material, undistracted by stereotypes

• The powerful benefits of a Growth Mindset: especially strategies that “normalize struggle” to prevent the preconditions for Stereotype Threat from being met

SUNDAY 1 – 5pm

Up-to-date research in neuroscience and psychology, combined with extensive classroom experience, grounds the models and strategies presented in this workshop. Taken together, they help our students overcome stereotypes in order to learn, grow, and make global connections.

Academics

•

International schools have an unparalleled opportunity for global learning that includes the international students already present on their campuses engaging in meaningful dialogue. This session will explore challenges our international students experience inside our schools, including intercultural conflicts and integration of authentic global perspectives. It will feature practical strategies for curricular and social integration used at Appleby College which help to create safe learning and living spaces where all students feel included, appreciated and supported. Andrea Kelly, House Director/Assistant Director of Student Leadership, Appleby College, ON; Jennifer Klein, Director of Educator Development, World Leadership School, CO

Creating a Global Studies Diploma Program – The What, How and Why Academics A global studies “diploma-type” program is a great way to establish an upper school global curriculum without a “revolution.” In fact, many schools already have the necessary components to start such a program. After providing overviews of two prominent programs—one at Providence Day School and one at Hathaway Brown—the presenter will provide activities to help you create your own programs by identifying requirements, global-type courses, capstone projects, leadership needs, funding and strategic imperatives. You will also learn about other advantages of global studies diplomatype programs—including benefits to enrollment, admissions and faculty recruitment. Loren Fauchier, Ph.D., Director of Global Education, Providence Day School, NC

FEATURED SPEAKER

EMPOWERING GLOBAL CITIZENS A discussion on the role of curriculum and pedagogy in educating students for global citizenship. Fernando M. Reimers is the Ford Foundation Professor of the Practice of International Education and Director of the Global Education Innovation Initiative and of the International Education Policy Masters Program at Harvard University. Professor Reimers is an expert in the field of Global Education. His research and teaching focus on understanding how to educate children and youth so they can thrive in the 21st century. He studies how education policy and leadership foster educational innovation and quality improvement. As part of the work of the Global Education Innovation Initiative he leads, he and his colleagues have just finished a comparative study of the goals of education as reflected in the curriculum in Chile, China, India, Mexico, Singapore and the United States, published as Teaching and Learning for the 21st Century by Harvard Education Press, a book which has also been published in Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish. Another recent book, Fifteen Letters on Education in Singapore, examines the lessons that can be learned from Singaporeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts building a robust teaching profession. Another recent book, Empowering Global Citizens, discusses why global citizenship education, aligned with helping students advance human rights and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, is an imperative of our times. His writings have conceptualized and defined the profile of a globally competent graduate in the 21st century. He chairs an annual Think Tank that brings to Harvard University leaders of thought and practice in global education around the world. His interests include the design and promotion of innovations in Higher Education. He teaches a course on educational innovation and social entrepreneurship at the Harvard Innovation Lab, where students learn to develop innovative education organizations, and a course on educational policy analysis and research in comparative perspective, which examines the core education policy challenges faced by governments around the world. He is also active advising governments, international development organizations, universities, public and independent schools and other educational institutions to improve their quality and relevance. He is a member of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education where he chairs the Strategic Planning Committee which works with all Universities in the State, aligning their strategic plans with the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vision Project. He is a member of the US Commission for UNESCO and of the Steering Group of Education in Conflict and Crisis of the United States Agency for International Development and works with policy makers in the United States, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. He is a Fellow of the International Academy of Education and a member of the Council of Foreign Relations. More information about his work is available at fernando-reimers.gse.harvard.edu
