W-1 International Recruitment 101

Presidio ITraveling 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.

Presidio IIInternational 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 IIIA 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

ACADEMICS

A-1 How to Initiate a Global Curriculum in a Non-Global CommunityMarina IFrom 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.

Jessica Good, Assistant Head/Upper School Principal, and Linda Moss Mines, Head of History Department, Girls’ Preparatory School, TN

ACADEMICS

A-2 Leveling Up a Global Studies Program Through GamificationMarina IIIn 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.

A-3 Small Residential Experience: In-between Dorm and Host FamilyPresidio IWhile 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?

Diana Gleeson, Head of Upper School, Allendale Columbia School, NY

ADMISS ION

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

A-6 A Global View of Global Citizenship: Re-evaluating Our AssumptionsPresidio IIMuch of the scholarship on global citizenship focuses a small seg-ment of the world: schoolchildren born and raised in the United States. However, our schools (and our lives) impact a broader popu-lation, 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 con-clude by discussing ways to embed travel experiences into school curriculum as a more thoughtful avenue towards global citizenship.

COLLEGE COUNSEL ING

A-7 Why International Students Are Not Getting into the Colleges We Think They ShouldNorth BeachThe 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 finan-cial aid factor into the admissions process for international students?

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 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.

We build upon this foundation while in-country 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 GraduationMarina IIn 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.

B-2 Developing Global Leaders: An Action-Oriented Diploma ProgramMarina IIAppleby 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.

STUDENT AND RES IDENT IAL L I F E

B-3 Orientation for Non-Native English Speaking International StudentsPresidio INon-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.

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.

C-2 Boundaries Guidelines for Global Educational SettingsPresidio ICrucial issues of appropriate and safe behavior between adults and students become even more complex when dealing with global education. It is impossible to create policies or rules to cover all of the various interactions that may occur with foreign students attending schools in the United States or with American students studying or traveling abroad. This workshop will offer behavioral guidelines utilizing a nationally recognized risk management approach applicable to any educational environment, at home or abroad, regardless of cultural differences

C-5 Lead, Don’t Follow: Tools to Be the Best in ClassMarina IIImitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and it’s no secret that independent schools look to their peers for inspiration and tips on current trends.

C-7 Counseling Complexities with Asian & Pacific Rim FamiliesNorth BeachWhile 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.

John Buggeln, Director, The Global Studies Institute; Catherine Tulungen, International Student Coordinator and Department Chair; and, Tony Giraldi, Director of International Advancement, Culver Academies, IN


D-3 Pieces of The Global PuzzlePresidio IAs 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.
