Reflections from EARCOS

I returned from EARCOS last night and would like to share some random insights from the conference. I think the biggest insight that struck me (yet again) was how innovative and progressive HIS is. Alan November is a world leading progressive educator and during each of his presentations he argued for just the type of school HIS is becoming. Not only have we embraced the digital world, we have also changed the way we educate children. This is very exciting and demonstrates once again the HIS Advantage. Check out Alan's website for more information about transformational educational practices. We are on track for WASC accreditation and are working extremely hard to prepare for the visit in 2 years. The second workshop on Good to Great set up a protocol on how to transform your school from a good school into a great school. International School of Beijing gave some wonderful insights on how they are implementing this at their school. Overall, it was a very informative conference and provided a great forum to help others get to know HIS.
