They say the unaimed arrow always finds its target. Better still is the well-aimed arrow. My purpose, our target, is to provide space for conversations about the unique experiences and problems associated with leading in international schools. The rules are simple–if it matters in international education, it matters here. I ask that participants share relevant concerns and insights with the explicit intent of supporting international schools, international educators, and their leadership. Be professional, be concise, be open and fair.
Purpose: Discourse
