JOHN LITTLEFORD -- Keeping Your Head: The Opportunities and Pitfalls in Executive Compensation and Evaluation
Compensation is a sensitive topic for school heads, and yet it is a core tool by which schools recruit and retain top talent in the international scene. This session will examine patterns of head compensation worldwide, the balance of incentive pay, base pay, and benefits—all within the context of effective yet fair evaluation. This session will report on the factors that most influence the compensation of school leaders. These factors will surprise most boards and heads.
DENNIS MCLOUGHLIN -- Using HiGH TRUST to Influence Others to Choose What is Best & Maximize Their Potential (not control with power)
Step into the future with High Trust Leadership. Really smart, talented people are different. They want work that integrates emotions, influences the future, touches the lives of others, includes freedom to create, and is intrinsically rewarding. 19th century carrot and stick approach, assembly line motivation, will not work. Personal integrity, the correct vision and High Trust Leadership will.

LINDA SEE -- Roles of the School Nurse
The National Association of School Nurses’ definition of the seven key roles of a school nurse serves as the framework for the health care professional in the international school setting. The school nurse plays a key role as a health educator for students and the community, a subject expert to develop health programs and policies and a liaison to the health care community both within the country and with international agencies. Maximize the benefits for your students by understanding how the school nurse fits into your professional team.
DENNIS SPARKS -- First Change Ourselves (Part 1)
Leaders’ emotions and clarity regarding their fundamental choices and values have a profound effect on the culture of the organizations they lead. This session will teach participants how to create cultures based on appreciation, celebration, and the use of strengths, and to identify the fundamental choices that shape their work and lives.
JEFF UTECHT -- Mastering RSS – Make the Web Work for You (Part 1)
If there is one web 2.0 tool that is underutilized and well worth the time and energy to learn, it’s RSS— Really Simple Syndications. Think of RSS as a supermarket, a supermarket where you get to stock the shelves with all of your favorite items and then you get to browse those items whenever you want. It will allow students to create personal learning networks (PLN) with other students and professionals around the world. Students can learn from a variety of people and media via the web.
ANGUS KING Former Governor of the U.S. State of Maine -- Transforming Education on a Grand Scale While in office as governor, Angus King launched an initiative to provide every public middle school student with a laptop computer. The first program of its kind in the nation, it was met with considerable resistance. But with his trademark style of leadership, Mr. King was able to persuade the state legislature to enact the program. It has since been copied in other U.S. states with similar success. International school leaders face similar challenges on a smaller scale. How can you convince your educational thought leaders, your board, your parent community and other constituents that the time and money invested in a laptop program are worthwhile? How do you successfully lead change on a grand scale? What are the characteristics of a successful technology reform program, and how can you implement such a complex program in your own school? Drawing on his rich experience in business, education and politics, Mr. King will share perspectives that any international school administrator will find useful, inspiring and entertaining.
