 The Role of Advisory in ISSN Schools

Speakers: Ellie Azghandi, ESL Teacher/International Studies Coordinator, Global Learning Collaborative; Melissa Cisco, Instructional Support Teacher, Global Learning Collaborative
Location: Salon F

The advisory program is the founding pillar of each Asia Society ISSN school. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to explore the function of advisory at the Global Learning Collaborative in New York City and gain an in-depth understanding of how the advisory program shapes students’ social and academic development during their tenure at the school. The workshop will focus on student discussions, relationships, character development, leadership, community service, action, college readiness/career planning, individualized mentoring, and conferencing. In addition, students from selected advisories will share their personal experience and perspectives on the role of an advisor/advisory.

 Meaningful “Out of the Classroom” Experiences

Speaker: Katie Willet, Social Studies Teacher, Academy of International studies
Location: Salon G

Participants will explore various methods and opportunities to provide students with meaningful “out of the classroom” learning experiences while still meeting state and local standards. This will involve looking at several classroom strategies aligned to state and local standards while focusing on finding the sources provided. In addition, participants will learn ways to provide truly outside of the classroom experiences and focus on how to organize and ensure that the experience fits in to the curriculum.

 Common Core Linkages to Global Content

Speakers: Rhonda Bush, Math, science, and Technology Facilitator, Ursuline Academy of Dallas; Judy Conk, Consultant, Asia Society
Location: Salon H

Have you found yourself juggling GPS Performance Outcomes, Common Core, and your curriculum? Learn how the educators at Ursuline Academy in Dallas, TX approached the task through effective planning and went from “good to great” in the global, project/problem-based learning they offered their students. Through the use of video as well as a panel, hear how they began a curriculum transformation once they decided that they would focus on “global competence.” This seminar will also give you insight into the tools and thinking that helped them make the change.

 Flipping the Classroom

Speaker: William Kiker, Math Teacher, Academy for Global Studies at Austin High School
Location: Salon I

Are you and/or your students flipping out over the volume and depth of curriculum you teach in your course? In this session, we will explore moving beyond shifting your paradigm and into “flipping” your classroom. A rapidly spreading trend in secondary classrooms has teachers utilizing the accessibility of online media, most typically videos, to move some traditional lecturing out of their classrooms and into student homes. If you find yourself frustrated by the amount of “lecture-rinse-repeat” that quickly expands to fill the valuable class time you have, consider how your role might change if students walked into your classroom already possessing the background knowledge they needed to work through practice pedagogy that must be considered to make a flip effective and the accompanying resources valuable. Join us to learn how this approach can increase student accountability, morale, and engagement in any classroom.

 Middle School Student Travel: From Inception to Completion

Speakers: David Garcia, Teacher, Mathis Middle School
Location: Salon A

If planning a trip for your family sounds like a challenge, imagine traveling with middle school students. In all honesty it’s not that bad. It requires a lot of commitment, hard work, and organization from teachers, students, and parents, but it’s possible to extend the classroom out into the world. Eighth grade teachers at Mathis Middle School in rural south Texas came up with the idea of taking students to Washington DC. After considering both the challenges and positive aspects of this kind of exposure, teachers drafted and presented a proposal to their administrators and local school board. Traveling to Washington DC was an opportunity to visit many unique historical sites, government buildings, and informative museums, all of which helped connect students to the eighth grade US History curriculum. This session will inform educators about the process and logistics of planning their own middle school learning expedition.

 Student Engagement: Lessons Global Schools Can Learn from Social Networks

Speaker: Eric Calvert, Consultant, Asia Society
Location: Salon B

Social networks like Facebook have exploded in popularity among both students and adults. Social media has millions of users who spend several hours each week interacting on these sites. While educators often consider the risks and downsides of social media, are there also positive lessons we could learn by exploring the traits that makes these tools so engaging. This workshop will compare research on student engagement in school and engagement online, and identify specific strategies Facebook uses to keep users connected and coming back. The session will also explore how these strategies can be adapted to engage students and support authentic and collaborative learning experiences.

 Taking Action Towards Global Learning: Did They Make a Difference?

Speaker: Mitzi Moore, Teacher, International School of the Americas
Location: Salon C

Long-term service learning projects offer opportunities for student choice, voice, and reflection. We will show you how students can use Web 2.0 tools to facilitate and document the experience, as well as raise awareness and advocate actions aimed at creating change locally, regionally, or globally. Students maintain a website and use it to prove they are (1) making a difference, (2) working together, and (3) learning. Participants at this workshop will be given full access to the digital tools used in this unit and should bring computers to guide their learning.

 Create Your Own International Service-Learning Trip on a Shoestring Budget

Speakers: ELLIE azghandi, ESL Teacher/International Studies Coordinator, Global Learning Collaborative; Melissa Cisco, Instructional Support Teacher, Global Learning Collaborative
Location: Salon F

Are there social issues that you are passionate about such as poverty, education, poor health, human trafficking, or child slavery? Would you like to expose your students to these global issues and encourage them to get involved and take action? In this workshop, we will help you explore how you can turn your passion into a life-changing travel experience for yourself and your students. We will share our own experiences from the Global Learning Collaborative’s Ecuador “Missions” Trip, a service-learning project in the City of Esmeraldas. In addition, student travelers will share their personal experience as service learners and the impact it had on them.

 Game Changers: Utilizing Digital Game Design to Engage Students

Speakers: Kate Farmer, Director of Communications and strategic Initiatives, Denver Center for International Studies at Montbello; Scott Jelinek, Science Teacher, Denver Center for International Studies at Montbello
Location: Salon G

Do you ever feel like you’re competing with entertainment and social media for students’ attention? When the lessons tie low-energy lightbulbs to zombie windmills, students won’t miss school that day. At DCISM in Denver, we strive for extreme student engagement in project Game Changers, where students and teachers become active learners merging the arts and sciences, while leveraging mentors’ experience and community resources. In a school with a focus on global leadership, the Denver Center for International Studies Montbello (DCISM) Game Changers project not only allows students to direct their own inquiry, but also gives them skills to be able to share what they are learning with a global audience. In this session, DCISM students and teachers will share the story of how the Game Changers process takes the enthusiasm of ninth graders to learn socially responsible game development with a focus on energy conservation.

 The International Seminar Program

Speaker: Clint Clark, Seminar Coordinator, Columbus International High School
Location: Salon H

The International Seminar Program at Columbus International High School is designed to be the focal point of the school’s international studies program and the main purveyor of its central academic identity. The four-semester progression is designed to culminate in a senior capstone project involving significant research of and writing about a topic individually chosen by the student. As such, the international seminars aim to develop the necessary research, writing, presentation, and other twenty-first century skills necessary to complete an individualized project of the magnitude required by the senior capstone, a project that is certainly the crowning achievement of any Columbus International graduate.

 Building a Model UN Program from the Ground Up

In Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organization’s agenda. Students make speeches, prepare draft resolutions, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the conference rules of procedure – all in the interest of mobilizing “international cooperation” to resolve problems that affect countries all over the world. Join students from Asia Society’s International Studies School Network to see how impactful this program is and how you can get your school involved in a Model UN program.

 Embedding the GPS in School Culture

Speakers: Jade Adams, Instructional Coordinator, Sharpstown International School; Chang Yu, Principal, Sharpstown International School

Location: Salon A

To fully and successfully implement the GPS, a school must set goals with measurable outcomes aligned to the Graduate Portfolio System. The school leadership team must make the GPS a priority and embed it in their practices before implementing it school-wide. A part of embedding GPS in your school culture is connecting your state standards to the GPS.

 Empowering Students and Teachers through an ISSN Exchange

Speaker: Ellen Devaney, English Teacher, Sharpstown International School
Location: Salon F

This session will provide inspiration for educators interested in providing their students with an exchange experience. Teachers and students from three Texas schools traveled to Denver, Colorado to participate in the Denver Global Forum sponsored by the Asia Society. The students from Sharpstown International 6-12 Schools, YES-Prep Brays Oaks, and Mathis Middle School worked with students from Denver Center for International Studies to collaborate on issues that would help solve the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals. Students were then given the charge to successfully implement the project proposals on their own campuses and/or throughout the International Studies Schools Network. Students were treated as “exchange students” and lived with local Denver families. Additionally, teacher attendees created a plan to bring their learning back to their home campuses.
