An unmissable series of webinars for international school leaders.
Connecting you with the experts you want to hear from
Education is evolving - fast. Artificial intelligence, new ways of learning and new assessment models are changing how schools teach and learners learn and progress. This changing educational landscape imposes ever greater demands on international school leaders, teachers, learners and education systems.
So to help you plan your next steps, The Big Think webinar series connects you virtually with the experts you want to hear from, as they examine the key issues that you’re grappling with.
For the strategic conversations that matter
Each Q&A webinar in The Big Think series focuses on a different topic with expert presenters starting the thought leadership conversations that matter. They'll share their expertise and ideas to help you tackle the challenges and opportunities you face, plan how to move your international school forward, and take the steps you need to achieve your educational vision.
Designed for international school leaders and leadership teams, each webinar is free to join and recordings are shared post-webinar with all registered delegates to re-watch on demand with your colleagues.
