School Improvement Institute

The residential, multi-day School Improvement Institutes (SII) focus on topics of current interest to leaders in the Asia Pacific region. The SII's flexible nature allows us to tailor the content to the shifting needs of participants and to agendas of the region. They also aim to help put local problems faced by school leaders into a global as well as regional and local perspective. Using a combination of lectures and problem-based learning exercises, participants engage in a range of topics such as:

• Leading with data
• Leading change in people and systems
• Updates on leadership for learning
• Staff development for school improvement
• Organisational systems and change
• Executive coaching and development

All SII's explore topics through the lens of leading in intercultural contexts

• One SII will be offered each July in Hong Kong.
• Each SII is equivalent to 3 credit points or one course.
• The focus of each SII will be determined each year to reflect the issues currently impacting on leaders and schools in the Asia Pacific region.

Participants are required to take one School Improvement Institute (either SII I or SII II) during the IELC. However, they may elect to enroll in a second in lieu of one course.

Basic accommodation expenses will be covered for one School Improvement Institute. Participants need to pay the costs associated with travel to the School Improvement Institute.
