  ECIS DIPLOMA IN SUSTAINABLE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL GOVERNANCE  
       
 

Royal Overseas League

Following on the highly successful launch in 2008-09 of the Sustainable International School Governance Program, ECIS is pleased to announce the dates for next year’s modules. The SISG is designed to provide professional development for high performance board members/trustees/governors/proprietors/owners of international schools and school heads. Additionally, several business managers, administration managers and development directors who participated in the pilot program found the experience to be highly beneficial.

In our rapidly changing world international schools are becoming highly complex multi-million euro/yen/dollar organizations. Many board members have limited time to be effective in their role and often move on before they really understand the complexities and needs of modern international educational institutions. Orientation and training opportunities are usually limited and not progressive. Research has repeatedly illustrated that sustainable development in international school governance is central to schools realizing their potential.

 
  The ECIS SISG Program consists of three separate, but linked, modules that lead to the ECIS Diploma in Sustainable International School Governance. Each module will focus on specific topic areas and recognize, and is relevant to, the needs of many governance models currently operating in international schools throughout the world.

Each Module is highly interactive and consists of a combination of lectures, case studies and group work. The international faculty are drawn from the worlds of education, business and not-for-profit organizations. They bring to the ECIS Diploma in International School Governance program a fresh and meaningful approach.

The first module will take place in London at the Royal Overseas League on the weekend of 10 October, 2009. The next module will take place in London on the weekend of 6 February, 2010 and the third will take place during the pre-conference of the ECIS Spring Conference in Malta April, 2010.

Individual Certificates of Attendance are presented to those who attend each Module. Participants who complete all three modules will be awarded the ECIS Diploma for Sustainable International School Governance at the April Administrator’s Conference.

Participants may enrol independently, or as teams. Modules may be booked individually, or as a package for a reduced early bird rate.

Newsflash!
