W-1 International Recruitment 101 Presidio I

Traveling abroad can be a daunting endeavor for those new to international recruitment. It’s stressful, time-consuming, expensive, filled with unknowns, and in the end, must produce results. But with knowledge, proper guidance, and a comprehensive strategic plan, international recruiting can be both successful and enjoyable. This session will take you through the nuts and bolts of creating and implementing a successful international enrollment plan _ including thoughts on: market selection, top notch travel tips, how to deal with government agencies and embassies, how to process visa applications, forging relationships and scheduling meetings with consultants, agents and alumni, as well as tips on interviewing international candidates. You’ll emerge from the session ready to plan, implement, and conduct a successful international recruiting plan for your school.

W-2 Managing Risk in Overseas Study and Travel Programs Presidio II

International study, travel and exchange programs are growing more popular with independent schools. But with such programs come the health, safety and security risks that have many schools thinking twice. Are you fully prepared to face the special challenges that could pose threat to such programs? In this interactive four-hour workshop, a panel of seasoned experts will examine recent developments, trends, and case studies of international travel programs, and will take you through the nuts and bolts of the most pressing legal issues. You will leave equipped with practical strategies for day to day operations of your international programs along with the knowledge of which questions you should be asking to properly anticipate and avoid risk.

W-3 Creating a Global Studies Diploma Program – the What, How and Why Presidio III

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 presenters 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 diploma-type programs _ including benefits to enrollment, admissions and faculty recruitment. Loren Fauchier, Ph.D., Director of Global Education, Providence Day School, NC, and Joseph Vogel, Director, Center for Global Citizenship, Hathaway Brown School, OH

A-3 Small Residential Experience: In-between Dorm and Host Family Presidio I

While boarding schools have a built-in model and infrastructure, day schools have often utilized host families in local areas. Another option is for a school to create a Small Residential Experience. This presentation is an overview of what it takes to “start up” a program like this. We will cover everything from advice for your town zoning to remodeling suggestions. How should meals be handled? What happens during school breaks? What kind of vehicle should the school purchase? How do you diversify your international population?

A-1 How to Initiate a Global Curriculum in a Non-Global Community

A-4 Do We Want to Admit International Students and Why?

Marina I

Lombard

From grass roots interest to full implementation, we have changed from a traditional girls’ school in a provincial community to one whose mission, values, and vision challenge us to be active citizens in an ever-changing world. The obstacles we faced as a school were dramatic: We needed to educate faculty, parents, and even our Board of Trustees, getting them to partner with us in this exciting venture. We are eager to share with you a “Bottom Up” story that has worked for us.

During this presentation we will explore the many reasons why an institution might want to expand and begin recruiting international students. We will look at how to identify the regions of the world to recruit, the reasons to ID the regions of the world where one recruits from, and the direct correlation to the institution and its vision and mission. We will explore the world of opportunity that the institution might offer to students and what the students will bring to the institution to enhance the culture.

In this presentation, the attendees will learn how Sewickley Academy transformed its Global Studies program by introducing game-based elements into the heart of the program. In order to earn a graduation certificate in Global Studies, students need to make thoughtful choices in four realms of Global learning. Like many sandbox-style video games, the way a student goes through Global Studies is informed by their own desires. Jon Cassie, Head of Senior School, and Ken Goleski, Dean, Sewickley Academy, PA

A-5 Fundraising with International Families: Lessons Learned Presidio III

Within a generation, international boarders in independent schools have increased from a few to almost 30%. TABS teamed with Marts & Lundy to conduct an in-depth study of the effect of the changing population on advancement practices and outcomes. Analysis gained from a survey of 28 boarding schools combined with in-depth interviews will be the fodder for conversation on this important topic.

A-6 A Global View of Global Citizenship: Re-evaluating Our Assumptions

A-7 Why International Students Are Not Getting into the Colleges We Think They Should

Presidio II

North Beach

Much of the scholarship on global citizenship focuses a small segment of the world: schoolchildren born and raised in the United States. However, our schools (and our lives) impact a broader population, and our conversation as educators must reflect this reality. This seminar addresses assumptions surrounding international students, multilingualism, and foreign travel, delving into the meaning of global citizenship for different regions and socioeconomic groups. We conclude by discussing ways to embed travel experiences into school curriculum as a more thoughtful avenue towards global citizenship.

The landscape of college admissions has changed tremendously in the last 10 years, even in the last 3 years! When college decisions are rendered, it often leaves school communities asking the question: ‘Why didn’t this top student get into these schools’? How have the demographics shifted to effect the college admission process? What are the nuances of how these students are advised in our schools and reviewed by college admissions professionals? How does financial aid factor into the admissions process for international students?

Seth Leighton, Executive Director, and Marina Lee, CDO, Envoys, MA; and, Luis Enrique Garcia, Board Member, Gimnasio La Montana, Colombia

We recognize the necessity of experiences outside of the classroom to develop globally competent youth.

We begin teaching months before the trip commences, using a series of online courses to prepare students for their experience.

Nancy Icenhower, Director of College Counseling, and Beth Ann Burkmar, Associate Director of College Counseling, The Hun School of Princeton, NJ; and, David Tobias, Director of Freshman Admission, University of San Francisco, CA

We build upon this foundation while incountry with a series of interdisciplinary lessons that support students to realize their individual learning goals.

Following the trip, our students produce high-quality, meaningful outputs, extending and deepening their learning experience.

B-1 A Collaborative Approach to Supporting International Students: From Inquiry through Graduation Marina I

In schools, we aren’t simply working with applicants, students or residents - we are developing whole people. Our international students face a unique set of challenges that can be overwhelming if we don’t implement a holistic approach to supporting them. Do you know what your Admission Office promises? Is your school sensitive to the academic needs of international students? Does your residential life office understand students in the broader context of their experience? Learn how three departments at one school collaborate to ensure international student success.

ACADEMICS

B-2 Developing Global Leaders: An ActionOriented Diploma Program Marina II

Appleby College has developed a rich experiential program which cultivates global leaders. Through combining local and international service learning, intercultural immersion, global connections within the academic curriculum and a culminating global action plan, students graduate with distinction in global leadership. Global action planning ensures that the valuable lessons students have learned and skills they have developed through their experiences are being applied in their plans beyond graduation. Graduates have mapped out a plan for their own future as global citizens and community leaders. Rob McGuiness, Assistant Head of School, Global Education; and, Sarah Kehoe, Faculty, Guidance, Appleby College, ON

B-3 Orientation for Non-Native English Speaking International Students Presidio I

Non-native English speaking international students can feel socially isolated and academically besieged. To address these risks, four years ago Lawrenceville implemented an early orientation pilot program whose primary goals are for these students to meet adult and peer leaders; to understand our community’s academic expectations and residential culture; to explore surrounding areas; to become acquainted and develop a sense of group. With such preparation, students more quickly develop the skills necessary to navigate our residential academic community. The presentation will outline essential structures and best practices.

Presidio III

What does it look like when a North American independent school and an international school fuse in an attempt to create a new model of education? How does a North American Independent School education translate in an international market? In 2010, Chadwick School in California opened a new campus in Songdo, South Korea, attempting to replicate the success of a leading and established California day school in a brand new “city of the future” over 7000 miles away. In 2012, The Barstow School of Kansas City opened their own school in Huizhou, China bringing 129 years of Western Education to a city of 4 million in China. This presentation will focus on the journey of two schools in building the case for and commitment to an international campus.

By partnering with NGOs, like the Peace Corps, we can design a long-term development model that addresses specific community needs and allows for our partners to pool resources and tackle together some of the world’s most pressing development issues. These innovative programs allow for mindful reflection and inspire youth to advocate for change in their own communities.

COLLEGE COUNSELING

C-7 Counseling Complexities with Asian & Pacific Rim Families North Beach

While the “Tiger Mom” imagery garners the national headlines, college counselors in independent schools can struggle to counsel our Asian students and families effectively, both international students from Asia and domestic Asian-Americans, given the wide diversity in Asian communities, the constantly shifting standards and policies in college admissions regarding ethnic/cultural backgrounds, and the normal complexities in counseling relationships that occur within during any student’s college search. This program will discuss the larger implications of admission and higher education practice with regard to both international and domestic Asian students as well as provide practical strategies for working with students from diverse backgrounds in today’s admission climate.

D-3 Pieces of The Global Puzzle Presidio I

As the world gets smaller and the growing number of countries represented within our boarding schools, the need for intercultural competence is more apparent than ever. Providing opportunities to learn beyond simple exposure to other cultures, but rather respect and understanding, is a focus within aspects of academic, residential and extra-curricular programs. We intentionally create opportunities for our students to practice thinking outside of one’s self. You will leave with solid examples of how to implement this 21st century skill within programming.

As international student populations increase, a myriad of cultural issues are faced by students and faculty. Challenges range from language and cultural miscues to difficulties integrating socially and adjusting to the US educational system. In this fun and interactive session, we explore how cultural values and perspectives vary around the world, and we equip teachers with some ready-touse strategies to raise intercultural awareness in their classrooms. Participants take away concepts and techniques to increase their own and their students’ intercultural competence.

Is your school fully benefiting from the global viewpoint that international students bring by helping them to realize their potential as leaders on your campus? Advisers are in the perfect position to help teach students how to enter into leadership roles by giving them the confidence to lead and by teaching the basics of positive group dynamics. This session is your chance to practice some of those adviser activities that will bring your school’s international students into leadership positions. This is a participation based session!
