In this book, William Powell and Ochan Kusuma-Powell provide a practical map to navigate some of today s most complicated instructional challenges: How do you help all students succeed when every classroom is, in effect, a global classroom? And what does a successful education look like in a world that is growing smaller and flatter every day? Drawing on research and years of experience in international schools, the authors identify five critical keys to personalizing learning for students who have wildly different cultural, linguistic, and academic backgrounds: * Focus on your students as learners through systematic examination of their cultural and linguistic identities, learning styles and preferences, and readiness. * Focus on yourself as a teacher and investigate your own cultural biases, preferred teaching style and beliefs, and expectations. * Focus on your curriculum to identify transferable concepts that will be valuable and accessible to all students and further their global competence. * Focus on your assessments to ensure cultural sensitivity and improve the quality of the formative data you gather. * Focus on your collegial relationships so that you can effectively enlist the help of fellow educators with different experiences, backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. The way to teach now is to focus on your students both as individuals and as members of a multifaceted, interdependent community. Here, you ll learn how to design and deliver instruction that prepares students not just to meet standards but to live and work together in our complicated, 21st century world.

The authors argue persuasively that differentiation provides diverse learners with access to the curriculum and an invitation to learn. The first four chapters describe the foundations of effective teacher differentiation: knowing each student as a learner, knowing one's curriculum, developing a repertoire of research-based instructional strategies, and learning the skills of professional collaboration. Embedded in each chapter are practical strategies that teachers can use in their classrooms. Later chapters deal with special issues in differentiation, such as assessment, teacher cultural sensitivity, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and the use of classroom technology. The authors write from their perspective as career international educators.

In the past, international schools have responded to challenging behaviors in punitive ways. Consequences for specific infractions (cheating, stealing, etc.) are outlined in policy manuals and punishments are meted out accordingly. While the punishments outlined in policy facilitate efficiency and consistency in making decisions, this approach may not provide the best learning opportunities for the offending student or for the school. Behavior is influenced by a number of variables, including physiological considerations, upbringing, cultural influences, prior experiences and emotional state, among others; and students may need different responses to support the development of behavior that is more acceptable in a school setting. In this monograph, NFI recommends a more compassionate approach to managing behavioral challenges in international schools.

Challenge Accepted!: Reframing our approaches to behavior management in international schools

This fascinating book, written by two experts in school improvement, is for teachers and school leaders who are looking for ways to raise the organizational intelligence quotient (OIQ) of their classrooms and their schools. It is ideal for those who perceive themselves as the facilitators of learning - for students, for colleagues and for themselves. If schools are to be transformed and transformative, teacher-learners will lead the way. Simplistic and superficial approaches to improving student learning simply don't work. School improvement isn't a technical challenge; it is an adaptive one. It requires a change not just in behaviors and skills, but in values, beliefs and even identity.
