PRE-CONFERENCE SESSIONS
INTERNATIONAL RECRUITMENT 101
Traveling 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 knowl-edge, proper guidance, and a comprehen-sive 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.

CREATING A GLOBAL STUDIES DIPLOMA PROGRAM
A 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 neces-sary components to start such a program. After providing overviews of two promi-nent programs—one at Providence Day School and one at Hathaway Brown—the presenters will provide activities to help you create your own programs by identi-fying requirements, global-type courses, capstone projects, leadership needs, fund-ing 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

MANAGING RISK IN OVERSEAS STUDY AND TRAVEL PROGRAMS
International study, travel and exchange programs are growing more popular with independent schools. But with such pro-grams 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 re-cent developments, trends, and case stud-ies 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 interna-tional programs along with the knowledge of which questions you should be asking to properly anticipate and avoid risk.

The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does
notmean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative“ ”
-John Dewey
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.
