W-1 Building A Cross Cultural Classroom and Community
Boarding schools present an exciting possibility to create a living laboratory for responsible, respectful global awareness with students from the US, Canada, and around the world. This potential, however, requires serious reflection and intentional multicultural planning. This workshop will explore the dynamics of a truly cross cultural community both in and out of the classroom, embracing not only the external patterns of culture, but creating a common system of shared concepts, beliefs, values, and respect. Using Claude Steele’s research on “Stereotype Threat” and David Pollack’s work on “Third Culture Kids”, this workshop will link current research to powerful stories from TABS/NAIS schools, encouraging each participant to share experiences and develop practical solutions in the academic and residential aspects of your school community.
Andrew Watson, President, Translate the Brain, MA; Carol W. Hotchkiss, Co-Curricular Consultant to Schools, Durango Institute for Co-Curricular Education, CO; Alexander McCandless, Christopher H. Lutz Director, Center for Global Studies; and Elizabeth Parada, Director of Multicultural Affairs, Loomis Chaffee, CT
W-2 Best Practices for Managing Risks and Liabilities in International Programs
In 2013, a Connecticut jury handed down a $41.7 million verdict to a student who was allegedly bitten by a tick while on a school trip to China. The case is on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit where numerous school organizations including NAIS, TABS, and 27 other education associations have filed amicus briefs in support of the school. In this workshop, attendees will learn about the facts of the case and theories of liability, the lower court’s ruling on the duty to warn, and the issues on appeal. As the NAIS brief points out: ”[f]oreign travel and study abroad (‘‘international education’) are indispensable to 21st Century education.”
Since this verdict, schools have been asking the same questions: should we be concerned about new levels of liability and, more importantly, what should we be doing to mitigate and manage the risks and liabilities in our international programs? In this interactive workshop, you will learn some of the best practices and guidelines that all schools can follow. From contractual and policy considerations, to administrator and faculty issues, risk management considerations and crisis response measures – checklists and guidelines will be provided. This is a “must attend” program for any school that has, or is thinking about, foreign study programs, and wants to stay abreast with standard of care and best practices.
Linda Johnson, Esquire, McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton Professional Association, NH; Hillary Pettegrew, Senior Risk Management Counsel, United Educators, MD; and David Thompson, Director of International Programs, The Hotchkiss School, CT
W-3 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 knowledge, proper guidance, and a comprehensive 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.
Andrew T. Weller, Ed.D., Dean of Admissions, Ridley College, ON; Kila McCann, Director of Admissions, Fountain Valley School, CO; and Steve Banks, Director of Operations, TABS, NC
PRE-CONFERENCE SESSIONS
FEATURED PRESENTATION
W-4 Navigating the Visa and Compliance Maze
If you have international students at your school, this session is a must. The facilitators from both schools and Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) will be unraveling the complicated process of international student admissions and clarifying the roles and expectations of your school leaders. You’ll also gain a better understanding of the I-17, the F-1, J-1, B-2 and what is required for SEVIS. Finally, get the straight scoop on key questions from SEVP so you can be sure your school is appropriately certified.

Transformative Internationalization: Becoming a Culturally-Responsive Institution
Plan to join this enriching session as Amanda Taylor, Ph.D. explains why
independent schools are particularly well-poised to emerge as leaders
in the internationalization of education. Dr. Taylor will shed light on how
an effective global program goes beyond the obvious, as she stresses
the importance of cultural-responsiveness and attending to existing,
often-overlooked cultural practices in our institutions. Combining cultural-
responsiveness with ongoing efforts at globalizing admissions and
curricula can help school leaders truly transform current practices.
Amanda Taylor, Ph.D
Director, International Communication Program
School of International Service
American University • Washington, DC
Amanda Taylor’s research and teaching focus on the intersection of
culture, power, and education. She is particularly interested
in the role of race in shaping educational policy and
practice as well as community organizing for
school reform. Her work has been published by
Oxford University Press, the Free Press, and in
peer-reviewed journals including Urban Education
and Equity & Excellence in Education. Before
joining the faculty at SIS, Dr. Taylor taught at
the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the
Relay Graduate School of Education, and in public
and international high schools. She served as the
Director of Graduate Enrollment Management at
SIS for six years and has consulted for the District of
Columbia Public Schools, Mass Insight Education, and the
Civil Rights Project (now at UCLA).
