Training for Visiting Teams
This workshop prepares participants to become NEASC approved accreditation visitors for international schools as well as US schools following the ACE Learning or Collaborative Learning Pathways (CLP) with IB. The training includes a comprehensive overview of several NEASC protocols in action with strong emphasis on the ACE Pathway. Participants will develop an understanding of the philosophical foundations and logistical processes involved in NEASC accreditation pathways. Aspiring visitors will be introduced to the NEASC visitor competencies which will guide development and growth of personal skills and attributes. A commitment to personal growth and a coaching mentality complements the knowledge and experience required to engage with NEASC visits and the NEASC family of schools.
Who should participate?
US based and international educators who are interested in supporting both US and international schools through the ACE Learning Pathway as well as the Standard Pathway are encouraged to attend.
Future opportunities for CLP Training for NEASC Visitors will be listed on our events page for IB educators who would also like to be considered for the Collaborative Learning Protocol with the IB.
