About this event
Join The International Schools Network for our latest CPD event on the crucial topic of support and development for local teachers. Aimed at senior leaders and educators, this event will consider the significance of supporting local teachers from a DEIJ perspective, opening up the ethical questions surrounding international school staffing.
It will also look at practical strategies to support local educators, through mentorship, professional development, and collaborative teaching models that elevate local educators while fostering stronger cultural ties and community engagement.
Upskilling local teachers not only enhances educational quality but also supports the local economy, promotes diversity and inclusivity and establishes a more secure and less transient workforce. Discover how to build a sustainable, thriving educational workforce that benefits schools and their communities.
