Many thanks to those who were able to join for our third ISLES Connect! ISLES Connect events are designed to support school-wide leaders of educational support in the work that they do with students, teachers, and fellow leaders. This event was centred around the different co-leadership models: Lead and Support, Parallel, and Tandem. We had time to unpack what each co-leadership model looks like, and when these might apply. In our breakout groups, we also spoke about the intentional decision-making about the models we select. When we explicitly select and name our processes, we can be more effective in our leadership. 🔗 If you are a member and missed out, you'll find the recording on our website. ✍🏼 Not yet a member?Join us to be involved in future conversations like this: https://lnkd.in/ga6vhq8V

Excited to partner with Next Frontier Inclusion on the next monograph, and to work with such a great group of leaders!
Leading The Way (LTW) initiatives represent the research arm of Next Frontier Inclusion. Through LTW, NFI publishes monographs on topics of current interest or challenge areas in inclusive international school practices. One important objective of NFI is to provide ongoing professional resources for schools on their journey towards inclusion. These monographs support schools in reflecting on practices and making steps forward to support all learners. NFI recently partnered with ISLES Collaborative to collaborate on our next monograph. As this LTW initiative focuses on leadership for inclusive education, our research team is representative of leadership roles across the school from school-wide leadership to divisional principals and leaders of student support. We gathered at International School of Beijing to begin the work, and unpack the polarities that exist in leadership for inclusion. The group will continue to collaborate in the weeks and months to come to write, edit, and publish this next monograph. Special thanks to our team: Cindy Warner-Dobrowski, Dan Todd, Dr. Dustin Collins. Julian Edwards, Kimberley Fung, Kristen Pelletier, Nigel Holdsworth (he), Stephanie Hepner, Tamara Redmond

ISLES Collaborative , together with Next Frontier Inclusion, recently partnered to revisit our conversations around the role of Generative AI in supporting neurodivergent students in the classroom. We recognise that the world of Gen AI has evolved many times over since our initial statement was released in April 2023, and we plan to continue these conversations for the benefit of our leaders, educators, and, most importantly, our students. Read our updated statement (here: https://bit.ly/ISLES_GenAI) where we discuss: 💭 what tensions we need to manage as we learn more about Generative AI 💭 the potential use for leaders, educators, and students 💭 how to navigate issues related to ethical use of AI, safeguarding, how we mitigate risks to learning, and more... ISLES Members can continue the conversation in our forum: https://bit.ly/genAI_forum #generativeAI #neurodiversity #studentsupport #inclusiveeducation #inclusion #internationaleducation #deij #deijb
