Workshops
Our workshops and trainings are grounded in our relationship-based approach and evidence-based effective practices of Adult Learning. Our training offerings are different from many other SEL and Advisory programs because we have an intimate understanding of the cultural context of international schools and we never deliver within a cultural void. Our professional development is research-based, interactive, professionally relevant and complemented with supplemental resources to encourage ongoing learning and development.
Below are some of our current offerings. These are synchronous sessions, offered in-person or online:
